The GT3 ducts go in front. Make sure the stock rear ducts are still in place. Porterfield has your Zimmerman rotors also.

I don't see stock rear ducts on my 2000S, or in the Boxster PET.
Pictures? part number?

the rear ducts are not really ducts so much as diverters. they're they look like 6" windshield wiper blades sticking down off the shear plate uner the transmission.

could you point out what you are talking about on this picture? Only thing I see is the two scoops on the skid plate that look like they feed air to the tranny.

Yep, those rubber flappy things hanging from the shear plate move air to the rear brakes and engine bay. The can get scrubbed off pretty easily if you roll over a dead opossum or something.

Tommy, who built your exhaust? Looks good. How much weight did you save? Change handling by losing weight at the tail? Have you measured performance or do you have specs? Didn't mean to hijack but it caught my attention.

Thanks, Ray.

That isn't my car, just a picture I had on file.

The exhaust was done by Precision Chassis Works
