Customizer gives GT3 adjustable exhaust volume, body kit

Japanese customizer J.N. Hephaiss has put together a kit for the previous-generation Porsche 911 GT3 (996 version). The tuner felt the GT3’s stock exhaust wasn’t quite loud enough for a car of this caliber, so a new system was fitted to the car. The innovative four-pipe exhaust features two modes for different applications. It can be be switched to ‘circuit’ (loud) or ‘public’ (silent) mode. Aside from the upgraded exhaust, the J.N. Hephaiss 996 features a bodykit that provides increased aerodynamics, as well as added cooling for the engine. Several components are available in carbon fiber for decreased weight.

That bodykit is a bit excessive, especially the rear spoiler but the exhaust is sweet – love the in-****pit adjustability…

This little girly-man wing doesn’t do much for me. Hire Lockheed’s Skunkworks and get the job done right.

With a wing like that, the driver will need to get special clearance when driving by certain airports.

That wing definitely has to be approved by the FAA before use.

The whole thing looks like a rolling tutorial on how to F___ up a perfectly good 911.

The boys at Skunkworks would not rubber stamp this conglomeration.Correct.This tuner JNH might be more suitable for Japanese cars.This is anti-Porsche philosophy.

How old are the tuners?18 year old entrepreneurs?Porsche owners don’t add on anything.They buy stock or specially tuned like Ruf or something.
