This is a modification I definitely want to do in conjunction with the 3rd radiator modification. I'm all for colling this car down, it amazes and concerns me at times just how hot this thing can get. I almost want to leave a big fan blowing over it when I park it at home.

when you do the 3rd radiator, let me know. i figured out how to increase the back-spacing & shoe-horn the 996 turbo duct behind it.

I will definitely do that, insite. You're saying you're able to get that duct to fit behind an OEM S bumper? Does it require any modding of the opening on the bumper?

Sry for the minor thread hijack, feel free to PM me instead if you want, insite.

it will fit behind the S bumper w/ no issues. it's designed to vent out the bottom. you may need to cut holes in your bumper under the car to vent the air. mine has the GT3 nose, so the vents were there already.
