That intake was installed just to move the car around in the shop.

Easy to fill ram holes and would look great on a coupe.

All factory PORSCHE parts so I figure that if I need to replace anything down the road (ie ram, wire harness clips, fan, mesh,etc....) I can order from a dealer or use Rennlist to locate the proper OEM part.

Question....Does the 996 Turbo Cab and Coupe use the same tail?

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just finishing a little project. '99 Cab w/Techart Frt spoilers,Aero package OEM rocker skirts, Champ 19" chrome rims,Fabspeed muffler by pass pipes and yes, a factory, fully operateing 996 Turbo Tail. Silver on Blk with Blk top.
I have just finished the final steps in fabricating a factory TURBO TAIL to fit a regular 1999 996 C2 narrow body Cab. The full 2 stage tail has been designed so all quarter/lid gaps are perfect. Maintains OEM lid underside duct & cooling fan equipment. Wire harness "plug & play" will allow all OEM switches and drive pumps to operate the rear wing as factory.Cab top operates with no tail interference. Only final mod that is to be finished soon is the air box. After installing all the TURBO TAIL rams in the deck lid, the Rt rear ram contacts the top of the air box. This stops the lid from latching. I have purchased the new K&N cold air intake system and hope this will allow more room in the engine compartment to close & latch the lid w/out the tail rams contacting any other parts. This tail should look great once completed.
Nice, any cutting required to fit the deck lid? I often wonder why TT and NA deck lids arent interchangeable. I thought only rear fenders are different
Have to maintain stock lid for proper fit, latches,etc. Attach outer turbo tail shell to stock lid frame. Weld reinforcements to add support @ rams and add second strut to support additional weight when tail is opened. Took 3 months and 1 stock lid with 1 turbo tail to fab up.
I know. The only thing with the A/M tails are they do noy fit as nice & they are a none functional tail. No raising or lowering wing w/speed control. They are in a stationary postition. The car is going to stay a narrow body.
I'm not sure about the fit, but I've seen pictures and it appears to align quite nicely with the fenders. And yes, there is a TT tail that raises/lowers w/speed control for NB cars. It's pricey though. I was looking into doing it a couple years ago, I will try and find the company....
If you could. I am thinking of offering this tail to clients that what some tricked parts but want to stay with factory equipment. I think the turbo tail is still the best looking around for a 996 cab.
All factory PORSCHE parts so I figure that if I need to replace anything down the road (ie ram, wire harness clips, fan, mesh,etc....) I can order from a dealer or use Rennlist to locate the proper OEM part. Can not say that about many A/M tails.
Question....Does the 996 Turbo Cab and Coupe use the same tail? Reason why I ask, is I would think the 996 Turbo cab would have a completely different decklid....if so it seems like that would be an easier fit....
996 Turbo cab & turbo coupe have the same tail. The turbo cab/coupe tail is larger then the C2/C4 (narrow body) cab deck lid opening. Any 996 turbo tail is longer and wider then a narrow body engine bay opening. Also , the latch is located in a different location on the underside of lid. Nothing lines up.
Why are you getting rid of the misha wing? Just curious, I know why I did.
Good luck.
FWIW there is a guy on renntech who put the TT deck/spoiler on a C4S, needed extensive airbox mods to clear the elevators, the KN might just work.
Just pulled my C2 out of garage. Still got to clean car. Factory tail with spoiler in the up, down position and photos of the modified engine bay area.Rear tail is made up of all factory PORSCHE parts.
That intake was installed just to move the car around in the shop. I have the new K&N Cold Air Intake system from Vivid Racing still to install. With the original air box in the engine bay, you can not close the deck lid. The tail rams hit the OEM air box top and do not allow the deck lid to close. This is just a temp intake to allow the car to be driven in & out of our service bays.
i have seen a few of those that are locked in the up position. My preference would be one in the down position. any idea of the name of the company? Thx
What looks really cool, is to leave the top wing off the T/Tail and install the lower louver . It gives the look of an early RSR duct tail. Easy to fill ram holes and would look great on a coupe.
