Default Who has the best price on 996Cup splitters?

Just like the title says, best source, best price? Anyone make cheap knockoffs as it's a consumable?

Out here in Australia, the cheapest is Porsche dealer OEM at $120 ea or $89.00 USD at the current er. Have you asked the dealer?

When I last checked the pricing was all about the same. I think that was because its a PMNA part so everyone was sourcing from the same spot. This was a few years ago tho. I ended up buying from Spencer ***, Speedsport Tuning, in CT because I was also buying some other stuff. Hopefully others will chime in.

The one rec I would make is to buy a bunch of them. They are unwiedy to ship so the size of the boxing adds cost (they basically folded them in half) but they weigh nothing so a few more makes it more $-efficient....

Fall-line motor sports. On third one, Chicago roads eat them!

Consumers can't order direct from PMNA...at least that is what they said when I tried calling them. You have to go through a re-seller.

I've run cup splitters for years and usually go through a couple per season. I decided to order one of Joe Tooth's 996 GT3 splitters (Connected with him via FB). The price is pretty much the same for a solid piece which is a bit wider and provides better downforce than the cup unit. Just another option that I'm very happy with.

Default 3m

Stock splitter fasteners and this 3m tape in your choice of thickness and width.

Using this it's the first year splitter made it through the season.

One more Joe Toth splitter. Tried installing it with stock plastic fasteners. Didn't survive Sebrings rough pavement and bumps. Now it's properly attached.

Easy loading/unloading and street driving when front piece is removed. Really clever design.
