Default Moshammer Rear Diffuser

The mods continue...well maybe

I quite like the look of the Mosshamer rear diffuser (Part No: P997.22.3040) which you can see here...https://moshammer.com/products/porsche-911-997-traditionrs-bodykit/ and would compliment the Flying ducktail and 991 front splitter (using the EMC2 adaptor kit) currently installed on my car (see photo)

.

..but just wondering whether installation is straightforward and easily reversible. Has anyone here installed this diffusor yet?

Specifically, I'm not sure whether it is a simple add-on to the existing bumper or whether you need to first remove the lower valence which is then replaced with the diffuser ?
The diffuser also looks fairly expensive (EURO 800 plus shipping) and also wondering if the quality justifies that high price.

Any experience with the diffuser or other Moshammer body kits would be appreciated .

If you look closely at the lower rear valence on your 997.2 Carrera S, you’ll see that it’s not a separate item. It’s just a groove-line molded into the rear bumper skin, to give the effect of there being a separate panel.

I assume that Moshammer diffuser would simply be added on top of your existing bumper skin.

Their website says it is “plug and play” with double-sided tape and a couple of screws. By that, I am assuming it just slaps on over the top of the stock valence.

English is obviously not the primary language of their website’s author, though.

FVD distributes for Moshammer. Maybe look at their US site for better info (I didn't check it).

I'm installing their side skirts on my silver 997 after having them CF vinyl wrapped.

Default Side skirts

Have you installed the moshammer sideskirts? Like them? I’m patiently waiting for FVD to get them in stock and will have them hydro dipped in carbon fiber.

Sorry, no, I haven't yet. All my time (and the lift) for the past 6 weeks has been occupied working on the 928 Spyder's engine removal and replacement due to a blown head gasket.

There's a 928 event the 1st weekend in June I'm going to in it if I can get it back together, tuned, tested, etc where I'm comfortable doing a 3 hour trip,otherwise I'll have to take the 997 or Cayenne, but trying my best to take the right car. Then there's a huge 928 Rendezvous at the Atlanta PEC the last weekend of June that it has to be ready for.

I have all of this going on currently...

Default Diffuser installed


Finally got around to sourcing and installing the Moshammer rear diffuser. Easy installation and looks good IMHO. No noticeable difference in handling on track although it was wet and not flat out.

That looks great. Nice Macan too.

I have some Moshammer side skirts I've yet to install, but really like their designs and quality.

Any pics from underneath.. ?

I just installed the moshammer sides and would agree, the fit, finish and quality seem to be too notch.

It does look quite good and gives the car a more modern look. Not sure how functional it could be since it can't tie into the under body panels and I'm sure there is a ton of turbulence coming off the engine and the inside edge of the bumper.

I've got to see about getting myself a Euro 997.2 bumper next time I'm in Germany. I don't think I can convince the wife I need to buy a new 911 and take Euro delivery to save money on the rental car, but a new bumper would be an excellent souvenir. Looks so nice without the US adornments.

I think if you want a real functionnal rear diffuser, you need to get the champion, which will really drive the air under the engine.

https://www.championmotorsport.com/p...-997-2-dfc.htm

The moshammer is, IMHO, only cosmetic part as it don't go under the engine.

Thing is the price is not the same ^^

I was very interested in the first place but in France we have a llooootttt of speed bumpers and some are even not legal and are so high so I told myself I will not buy anything exepensive that goes under the car (front lip, diffuser) and risk being damaged at any time ;-)

In our group we have a guy with a 991 lowered + carbon diffuser and he must take all bumps at an angle (kind of funny when we drive together) and sometimes touch anyway

Um, yeah... That's what I was talking about. But no port even for the oil drain? Ugh, what a pain.

Doesn't look like a lot of bolts. I've had more difficult oil changes on 4wd vehicles with under-trays.
