997.2 rear bumper / exhaust upgrades
#1
![Default](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I am thinking of converting the rear bumper of my 997.2 carrera s to a 997.2 gt3 rear and doing the center exit.
OR
Keep the stock exhaust outlets and get a gt3 rear bumper fabricated to accommodate the stock outlets.
I would love to go with option #1, but from most of what i found, it seems like a ridiculous amount of $$$ is needed. Any ideas to cut down on the price.
I only found the CARGRAPHIC center exit exhaust, but cant find anything on the GMG or FVD website. the CARGRAPHIC option requires the side mufflers to be changed to CARGRAPHIC side mufflers in order for the rear section (center pipes) to fit.
Isn't there anyone that does the center exit to fit the stock setup? or is there anyone that does the mufflers and center exit and would cost much less that going the CARGRAPHIC route.
Dont get me wrong, but im just looking for something other than CARGRAPHIC just because of the price factor, i have great respect and heard great feedbacks about CARGRAPHIC and would love to have their setup, but i just did a Sport classic front conversion 2 days ago, and my HRE's have arrived today, therefore there is not much more left in the modding budget..
*PS: we dont have a good exhaust place in my country that i would drop my car to to fabricate a pipe for the center exit (which is a cheap option) therefore im looking for some help all over from the states..
all your feedbacks would be much appreciated..
regards!

Unless you're set on making your 997.2 looking like a 997.2 GT3, I would go route #2. You can still have the GT3 look, but with a unique twist; you'll have dual outlets instead of single outlet. It's also much cheaper, thus allowing you to use your cash for other upgrades. You can also check with Fabspeed to see if they have a center exhaust system for the 997.2.

Sure, you're right. It would still be different with your plan. Best wishes. You should try and contact Fabspeed. They may just be able to help you.
But if the rear GT3 conversion is done, it wot be like a 997.2 GT3, because its just the rear bumper that's a GT3 goodie, but the front bumper is different, and i wont go for a wing i'll stick to the stock 911 S wing.. don't you think it would be a bit different?

Make sure to check out the Fabspeed GT3 Conversion kit for you 997.2. We can do it and it will look awesome just like the previous cars. PM me if you have any questions and if your interested and I will work up the package for you with a nice member discount. It will look similar to this but you will not be using the primary muffler in the back, so you will have just the side mufflers for a nice sound.
