Bingo. It's a business decision. Most 986 buyers at this point would not drop $2500+ on an aftermarket exhaust, especially when most of the other aftermarket exhausts cost $1000 and under.

You can always buy it and have it retro fitted to your 986.

Tried that route already. Called Tubi directly and asked that question. They referred me to call Champion Motor Sports, where they already tried it and were unsuccessfull as well. I guess a GHL is the way that I must go.

I would think they only made a 987 version because of the cayman. Aren't the cayman and 987 after-market exhausts interchangeable?
