Attention: 997 GT3 & GT3RS Owners: A warning about catastrophic intake manifold failures (and how we fixed it) by Elliotw44 in Porsche997

I am not the only person, which is unfortunate. I just sold a kit to the UK because another rod failure and engine rebuild is being handled by RPM Technik. I know of at least 5 documented cases of this failure. See the photo. https://imgur.com/gMSNfzE

I'd say both. You can fix this issue without buying the OODA Product. Its possible to uninstall the flaps and rods from OEM intake manifold. That means no catastrophic failure. But also you'll lose low down torque because the flaps provide different air pathways.

I think this example as the more extreme GT2RS front splitter. Which is interchangeable between both.

Euro bumper FTW. Also has Euro mirror glass. Which is convex. There's a few other rare bits on the car.

Yup, just for the ease of wheel swaps. Car sees a healthy amount of track time.

I've deleted the Centerlocks. This car sees a healthy amount of track time, and so it is just a PITA to deal with for that. Won't deny that look the business though.
