I assume that the actual load on those little wing is very little then.. I would have thought that they were bolted on.. !

If I were retrofitting I'd skip the overpriced RS 4.0 flicks and go for these from the GT3 R.

They're larger, bolt on, significantly cheaper, and will produce much more downforce.

I am reminded of the chariots in "Ben Hur" ... imagine driving around a parking lot with those on the car ...

they look great ... but probably a bit much for a street/track hybrid!

Sorry not to respond sooner.Away on holiday in Spain.
I have retained original headers and cats mainly due to
cost.
I have gone for the side mufflers and back box from Akropovic.
The noise is good and I haven't hit the red line yet.
