Akrapovič Carbon Diffuser | Porsche 997 GT3 / GT3 RS

Akrapovič Carbon Rear Diffuser for Porsche 911 GT3 & GT3 RS 997

The Porsche 911 GT3 and GT3 RS type 997 feature a rear-end design specifically developed around their high-performance engine and exhaust architecture. When installing a compatible Akrapovič exhaust system, the integration between the exhaust outlets and the rear bumper must also be taken into consideration.

This Akrapovič carbon fibre rear lip is designed for the corresponding Porsche 911 GT3 / GT3 RS 997 applications and provides a dedicated solution for the rear bumper area surrounding the exhaust outlets.

Its application-specific design helps maintain a clean integration between the rear bumper, exhaust outlets and Akrapovič exhaust system, while adding the distinctive finish associated with exposed carbon fibre components.

Important: installation requires modification of the rear bumper. Accurate positioning and cutting are essential to obtain the correct fitment and maintain appropriate clearance around the exhaust system.

Why Use the Akrapovič Carbon Rear Lip?

A high-performance exhaust installation involves more than the exhaust components themselves. The position of the exhaust outlets in relation to the rear bumper must also be correctly managed.

On compatible Porsche applications, the Akrapovič carbon rear lip is designed to provide the required rear-end integration for the corresponding exhaust configuration. An unsuitable bumper solution or incorrect positioning can result in poor exhaust outlet alignment, an uneven finish or insufficient clearance between the exhaust and bumper.

Using the component designed for the intended application avoids having to rely on improvised solutions around the exhaust outlets and helps preserve the original character of the Porsche 911 GT3 / GT3 RS.

Carbon Fibre Finish for Porsche 911 GT3 & GT3 RS

The carbon fibre finish naturally complements the lightweight, motorsport-inspired character of the Porsche 911 GT3 and GT3 RS. Positioned at the lower section of the rear bumper, the carbon lip enhances the visual integration of the exhaust area without relying on a universal aftermarket design.

This Akrapovič carbon rear lip for Porsche 997 is developed around the relevant vehicle application rather than being a generic universal diffuser. This is particularly important when working on a vehicle as specific as a Porsche GT3 or GT3 RS.
