Fragdude, actually the ducts built into the rear panels on the 993TTS are all "SHOW" and no "GO". They do absolutely nothing. They are not vented to the intercooler...not even to the rear brakes.

But, yes, they do look very cool!

On the 996TT and 997TT...that's a different story. They are functional beyond looks.

That kinda is a bummer. I thought porsche was above that kinda stuff...oh well, I've only seen a turbo S once in person and I had no idea what it was at that time.
