Do 40th Anniversaries Have a 3rd Radiator?

Any of you 40th owners (or even non-owners) know if it has a 3rd GT3-like radiator?

Also, do 40ths come with Sport Exhaust standard, or is that an option?

Thanks team!

I was told the 3rd radiator is fake on US cars but I never checked.

Wait, I'm not understanding. Sport Exhaust is standard, AND you bought it 2 weeks later with only 400 miles on the car?

What about the radiator, do you have a 3rd radiator?

Regular is std-- after 400 miles i bot a sport exhaust from porsche for $1400 i think
US cars dont have 3rd radiator - also another myth was it has short shifter-- it doesnt and I added that as well. Def the exhaust and shift should be done.

Well mine has the 3rd rad in the middle front. Hood sticker says Sport Exhaust but is does not have the PSE exhaust which is a different set up from my research. You could get it with PSE though. I have seen a few that have it.

Mine does not have the 3rd radiator that I can find. Sport exhaust was an option for the 40th cars. Some literature from Porsche claims it is standerad equipment, but not true. Maybe for europe not the US.
