Were these ever available on a 996?

And by 'these' I mean the additional air scoops on top of the rear decklid that that guide air into engine compartment...

(spoiler handily removed on this 997 to show what I mean!)

Yes I have these on the 996 GT3 RS they are called Arm Air Ducts.

Thanks pocty.

Were they just on the GT3 RS, or GT3 (1 & 2) as well?

[pocty]

Just on the RS as far as I know. But a mate of mine has bought some for his GT3 he's on this forum called DasChin. I'll ask him where he got them from

....The RS has ram air ducts on the engine bay which force air into the intake with 18Mb of pressure at 187 mph (301 km/h) and this is enough to create an additional 15 bhp (11 kW; 15 PS). That extra bhp cannot be homologated since the official engine output figures are certified on a dyno.

...Copied from mcpmotorsport.

Awesome. Many thanks.
If you can get that info from your mate, that'd be great.
