You can also consider the Mimo Technik center exit kit. (replaces center muffler)
hmmm now that u mention, im curious too on the issue with the rear intercooler outlets. anyone know if its poses a problem long run ?

btw.. whats a mimo technik center exit kit?

Just like a fake "turbo" badge...

...anyone who knows enough to appreciate the difference will just know that it's fake.

i think it’s a very valid point. This is no different then kit to make Pontiac Fiero look like a Ferrari.

I think its it’s a huge mistake to modify a C2S to look like a GT3. My opinion.

Is it any different than "transforming" a long hood into an RSR clone as seems to be so de rigueur right now?

Or do we just get to call it a "hot rod" and make it ok?

Or even converting a 964 into a long hood (Singer anybody)?

Do what you want. These aren’t collector cars. Make it what you want. For years I was on the 993 forum as people added turbo wings and ‘s’ Bumpers. Who cares

it sounds like you just want to experiment with the looks and not try to fool anyone. My rule is just never re-badge it and try to represent what it’s not

I hate the fake muscle car ‘SS’ and ‘RS’ cars. Looks are one thing , re-badging and misrepresentation is another to me

yes. the rear intercooler outlets will probably b an issue. im actually thinking to just do the front and side skirt now. in terms of the fitting of the rear bumper they have customized it to fit c2s and the exhaust outlet too fits the c2s sports exhaust whereas the original does not.
