I have a 997.2 cs. Mine is oem with 1 side bar. European car. And european gt3, dont have a sunroof. This heigo, looks very similar to mine. Only problem i have, is that it is almost impossible, to dismantle later. That is because of the pipes on the outside are to thin, and the screws gets tighter and tighter, makes flat spots, because of noise, squeeks in the roll cage. Im also using the oem front section.

Mr.Adair. Factory clubsport yes. Im very happy with the car. Using the front section, may not make it better, thinking of noise. On longer distances, i use earplugs. Like every other cars, there will always be something you may wish was a little different. I tried to dismantle the rear section, then i found out, which i think was a silly patent, almost not beeing able to dismantle it other than cut the pipes. So i didnt take it out.

Oh man, I want want to wear ear plugs!!! Then I can disconnect the damn phone!
Could be an install issue @Mr. Adair Maybe something as small as Loctite could be needed. My Clubsport cage has a jingle as well, not loud, just annoying. My old HEIGO cage in my 993 did not.
I say get the HEIGO and of a Clubsport one comes up, sell the HEIGO. It’s a net net, done.

Interesting about the noise. Sounds like install issues. I had ZERO, I repeat ZERO noise from my clubsport cage at any speed or any rpm. And I have probably driven more miles with a clubsport cage in place than most.

Yea, my last cage had a buzz. With the lack of insulation on these GT3 cars road noise is just brutal on longer trips. I drove my first RS to Rennsport in CA from MN 2500 miles. Damn near killed my gal and me. I don't expect the Heigo to be silent. I suspect a proper install and some attention to keeping it quiet might help. I have ordered the Heigo btw so I agree with your assessment!
