It looks 100% stock on the outside at the moment.

Here's what it looks like underneath.

Rick, I know you previously had different flavors of your packages (4.25L, 4.5L, more street/tq based, more track/hp, based, etc) but you've understandably consolidated into one primary offering.

Do you have any type of (less aggressive?) package for California's crappy fuel that does not require the use of octane boosters?

Yes, we can tune to whatever fuel you will primarily use.

Is there a Differential/Gearing kit available for 991.1 S/GTS (Manual) ?

My 981 Cayman S is finishing up its transformation at Deman right now... 4.5L engine, brake upgrade, and installing LWB seats. 2022 is going to be a great season with that little sleeper!

Yessssssss. Saw your car in the shop when I was up there a few weeks back and absolutely love the idea of a sleeper Cayman! If you ever track it you’ve gotta try and tuck in with some GT3s and get the owners reactions in the pits; it would be a riot to see a seemingly base looking 981 keeping toe to toe with those guys on track.

That is slightly relying on my lack of talent, ha, but I'll do my best! I run a few track days a year and there's always some high end Porsches out there, I know a couple of the guys will have a GT4RS this year. The car was a blast on track before but I suspect Deman will have transformed it into a proper supercar.

The only question is: Do I leave the Cayman S emblem on there or not?

Hi @Rick Deman,

Quick question - If I wanted this 4.5L engine for my 2021 718 GT4, will it work with Dundon Headers and Dundon Crack Pretzel exhaust or do I have to get your custom setup?

Hello!

The Crack Pretzel will go perfectly with 4.5L's of the Finest German beer! I suspect this will be a fine combination if you wear earplugs most of the time.

I have industrial earmuffs specifically for that reason but I'm used to the sound now so I just keep them in the car for passengers haha. Most glorious sound ever. Straight piped full Dundon catless system (headers + crack pretzel).

Thanks for the info. Now that I know it is compatible with my setup, I will send you an email to get full details of this project.

Look forward to working with you, hopefully.

Can someone invite me into the Facebook owners group? I cannot find it so it must be hidden. My DeMan 4.5 is currently awaiting transport back to Chicago.
Super excited!!

New DeMan 4.5 muscle deserves better reflexes from the suspension.

New Ohlins R&T going in.

Lightweight Forgeline Monoblock Forged GT1 wheels going on.

Ducktail still on order (since July 2021 - boo!).

Larger floating rotors going on for next track season.

Stock looking right now but not for long.

Sorry, I am late to the party. My apologies if this has already been asked. Does DeMan Motorsports build motors for the 987.1 cars, or strictly 987.2 and newer?

Thanks.
