GT4 RS Style Intake Ducts – Porsche Cayman 981/718 Air Scoop Upgrade

Breathe New Life into Your Cayman’s Side Profile

The Porsche Cayman is already a standout performer. However, with the right additions, you can elevate it even further. That’s exactly what these GT4 RS style intake ducts deliver — a track-inspired aesthetic combined with real airflow functionality. Designed to mirror the iconic GT4 RS, this intake scoop upgrade brings motorsport style to the 981 and 718 Cayman range.

What’s more, this enhancement is not just cosmetic. Instead, it works in harmony with your car’s aerodynamics to feed additional air to your intake system, thereby enhancing performance and engine cooling.

Inspired by the Legendary GT4 RS

Porsche’s GT4 RS represents the highest evolution of the mid-engine platform. Therefore, drawing inspiration from its design makes perfect sense. These intake ducts recreate the unmistakable GT4 RS side scoop silhouette, giving your Cayman a more aggressive and functional look.

Whether you’re building a weekend warrior or a daily driven showpiece, this upgrade ensures your car doesn’t go unnoticed. Moreover, it blends seamlessly with your factory body lines.

Tailored Fitment for 981 & 718 Models

These ducts are engineered specifically for:

• Porsche 981 Cayman, Cayman S, GTS

• Porsche 718 Cayman, S, T, GTS (non-GT4)

They are not suitable for GT4 or Spyder models, as those come with unique aero from the factory. However, on compatible models, these ducts fit into existing side scoop areas or can be bonded directly, depending on trim.

Additionally, the design ensures no awkward gaps or panel mismatch, making this a true plug-and-play appearance mod in most cases.

Built from Motorsport-Grade Materials

While many aftermarket scoops are plastic-only, these GT4 RS style intake ducts are available in two construction options:

1. Gloss black or satin black ABS – lightweight, UV-stable, durable

2. Dry carbon fibre (2×2 twill weave) – ultra-lightweight, race-ready finish, and deep texture

Thanks to this variety, you can choose the finish that best complements your existing aero setup or paint color. Regardless of which you pick, both options are built to endure harsh weather, road use, and high heat environments.

Functional Airflow Performance

Although style plays a big part, these ducts also serve a functional role. The larger openings and extended duct shape are designed to:

• Pull in more cool air to the intake or engine bay

• Reduce intake air temps (when routed to airboxes)

• Improve thermal management under hard driving

• Optionally feed air to rear brake ducts (if modified)

Furthermore, while exact performance gains may vary depending on intake setup, drivers report improved throttle response and reduced heat soak after install.

Quick Installation with Minimal Effort

You won’t need to be a mechanic to install these. In fact, most customers install them with basic tools in under 90 minutes. Because they’re shaped to match factory mounting areas, the process is straightforward and easily reversible if needed.

🛠️ What You’ll Need:

• Trim tools or plastic clips (for some 981 models)

• Alcohol wipes for prep

• High-temp automotive adhesive (for bonding version)

Although optional, we recommend professional installation for precise fitment and surface prep, especially if you’re using carbon fibre and want a perfect result.

Combine with Other GT4 RS-Inspired Mods

To achieve the full RS transformation, consider pairing these ducts with other components from the GT4 RS visual catalogue:

• GT4 RS Style Rear Wing for 718

• Porsche Cayman Carbon Side Skirts

• 981/718 Carbon Front Lip Splitter

By combining these upgrades, your Cayman not only looks the part — it performs better, too.
