Porsche 996 Turbo BBi StreetCup Roll Bar Install

(Click on images for higher resolution)





Already outfitted with many of our BBi Autosport upgrades, we took delivery this silver Porsche 996 Turbo and installed our Street Cup Roll Bar with a custom red finish to properly mount harnesses and increase protection. Our bar features 4130 chrome moly steel tubing (1.5" x .120" main hoop & 1.5" x 0.95" rear hoops) for excellent strength to weight ratio. With our sensible approach, the 2 piece design allows the bar to be mounted to the front seat belt mounts and to the rear strut towers (stronger mounting points), and still be compatible with the factory Bose subwoofers. Other similar roll bars on the market are not compatible with the subwoofer. For superior strength and rigidity, the bar utilizes "X" braces on both front and rear sections and each joint has been meticulously TIG welded by hand. Bolt-in installation is accomplished by using Inner Diameter Tube Clamps that are CNC turned and milled for a precise fit. These unique joints allow us to eliminate the more traditional slip fit tubes with an unsightly through-bolt and nut. Here are some pictures of installation process and additional information that that we would like to share:

Do you guys share any of the concern with the league of people here on the
