I see on SunCoast a replacement Brake Duct - rear GT2RRDUCT 996 331 127 90.It says standard replacement. Did your Gt3 come with it ? I don't think I had this original originally. A Photo would be helpful to see it. Not shown on Porsche PET . Shown with small bracket and quick release plugs but I can't picture how it is attached . Any help appreciated.

its a pain to figure out!! the bracket goes thru the duct and over the lca. then the plugs go thru ther bracket and into the lca to secure it. be careful these ducts break very easily.

they are now very expensive and are fragile... converted mine over to 997TT + (and soon as I have a chance) 7GT2RS rear ducts
the 6GT2 ducts slip on from the front and clasp over the LCA, the hole in the duct fits around the thrust arm-LCA bushing, the metal clamp slides on from the back and push clips (3) secure the two together...

broke one of mine so i was going to fiberglass it back together. do you have the part # of your replacement piece?

993GT

6GT2 ducts or the 997tt or gt2rs?
I've repaired and replaced so many 6GT2 rears I called it quits when Porsche jacked up "Classic" pricing

i have the 6gt2 setup. wondered what the part # was for the units you replaced your gt2 setup with. the 997 parts

Yes - expensive and not sure will fit with RSS LCA . 997 version of interest . I see where I think it goes - tight in there. 997 version Looks interesting PK997GT3DUCT. Now I see RSS may have one- Need to do more homework

7GT2/3RS rear ducts work well. There are two version of clips depending on which LCAs you are using, the standard ones, or the forged ones. I've been running these on my 996 for almost 4 years. One thing to watch out for is that they will not work if your shocks have too much droop when you jack up the car. A friend of mine put them on his 997TT with stock shocks and they snapped the clips as the suspension drooped on the lift. You will also need to trim away the rotors backing plates.

thanks. by the way- stunning car

Thanks my friend, and good luck getting the brake ducts sorted. If using aftermarket lower control arms none of these will be an option as the clips are specifically molded to the factory arms and as such are a very precise fit. To use the 7GTducts, your choices are the plain Jane OEM one piece arms, various versions of the street GT2/3 split arms, or various versions of the split Porsche Motorposport Cup and RSR arms.

Anyone have a part number for the 6-GT2 rear ducts and clips?

+1. I had quite a few offs with mine and they never moved. They are a lot heavier duty than the horrendously expensive 996 cup ducts which broke in short order. Luckily the cup ducts can just be cable tied back on but the plastic is not as durable as the GT2 rear ducts. It helps that the GT2 rear ducts mount quite high up. The 996 cup has no rear ducting so I will be fitting the GT2 ducts which will hopefully help with rotor life somewhat (not that any of this stuff is easily measurable, but I have the parts on the shelf so why not?)

talking about the front ducts or rear ducts? fronts take a beating and keep going, rears are mega fragile...maybe its the updated part numbers(?) that are junk-which certainly could be, just like splitters, some were mega fragile but current one happily scrapes for days... fronts are nice heavy flexible plastic, rears are the cheapest hard plastic china ever cast...
