I think safety advancement design is such that they want the car to crumple as much as possible, because that reduces potential injury to the human. And so, such a light weight car with tight packaging, I’m not sure how else this would work on a 911.

Sure, but the catalytic devices are probably not part of the engineered crumple zone.

And, I know I'm beating the horse, but the parts are nonsensically priced. I'm still laughing about the Chinese Porsche window switch assembly ... $20 vs $200 ... both the same, except Porsche likely paid $5 for the assembly. And, they're both crap quality.

Too many liars out there. Funny how they change their story when you offer to send them video of the incident.
This. After a hit and run totaled my parked (and much beloved) A5, I installed Blackvue front and rear cams in my GTS during the "making it mine" phase.
