I can attest to that because my friend was running a GruppeM intake on his 996TT for over 2 years without a problem.
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.

My first post and just wanted to share the first US release of the GruppeM Special Exhaust available for Porsche 996 C2 and Turbo.
My personal observations:
Fit & Finish:
All welds and bends are immaculate as well as the brackets and tips. I personally love the look of the system, with a nice stainless polished look with flat grey
tips with GruppeM polished logo. (There is also a GruppeM emblem on the drivers side cannister). The system bolted up with no issues, the tips lined up perfectly as
did the piping - no adjusting needed to complete the install.
Sound:
One word - Wonderful. Not droney or annoying, actually quiet at idle, but once above 3K or when on the throttle it has a great tone that is not as high pitched as a Capristo for Ferrari, but not that hayness deep sound of the typical fast and furious import either.
A true motorsport sound that I've been looking for, with solid motorsport style tone when on the accelerator. It really has to be heard to appreciate it, I can't quite put the sound into words.
Performance:
I'll have dyno numbers shortly and hope to have the GruppeM Filter Ram Charger for the 3.6L as well - all depending upon the availability of the car (more mods to come!).
I've noticed better throttle response as well as quicker accelleration at speed, but again - this is all seat of the pants. GruppeM always does great R&D on their products, I'm sure they have a Dyno sheet sitting around that I may be able to get ahold of.
I have no qualms believing that this system has improved overall performance, their track-record can back it up as well.
Dealer:
I've always had a great relationship with GruppeM | RENNSport and this product once again shows the high-quality products offered by both companies.
RENNSport is the authorized distributor for GruppeM products in the US, other so-called distributors are buying through UK distributors, be smart - by direct from RENNSport.
Summary:
With a limited amount of companies building exhausts for the N/A 996 C2, I was extremely excited about the opportunity to debut this product.
Attention to detail and incredible fabrication is something that GruppeM has become synonomous with, along with the performance numbers to match.
If you're local in SoCal and would like to see/listen to the system in person, feel free to send me a PM.
A few pics are attached, full shot on the car to follow shortly....
I asked them about that as well and was told that there were folks gray importing systems from Europe, which were causing some issues. They said that as long as they are US-designated parts, they will work without any issues. I can attest to that because my friend was running a GruppeM intake on his 996TT for over 2 years without a problem.
