would it be remotely possible that US 997 GT3s have 4 pipes, two each side, whilst ROW cars have 2 central pipes?
The photos are of a US rear end.
R+C

That looks rather more like an aerokit on a C2S with Sport Exhaust
Also they cite a "central rear-exit" exhaust...and the pics rather clearly aver
Autoweek....such a quality rag.

It also says they're using the 3.8 motor.

That's not a GT3 - notice parking assist and sunroof.

I wish the magazines would use good GT3 spy photos and not knockoff pictures. They have been showing those for months.

There is no GT3 yet (for NA)..and I doubt there will be one..it'll be a Cayman CS instead, with a GT 3 engine.

Care to explain why do you say that? Cayman is for those who want "Porsche". On the other hand, cars such as the GT3 define what Porsche is.
Besides, when you say things like that I am worry that the price of used GT3 will remain above $90K....
... please let the price be in the $70K's so that I don't feel bad ripping the carpet out and do some wheel-to-wheel action.
