6cup are the largest and top $$$. Think it's then 7TT, then 7GT3, then 6GT3, not 100% on that.

Weird fact. The 997 ducts are a different price for each side.
99734148392= 5.33GBP
99734148492= 6.41GBP

WTF?

Yes, the 7s is a lot smaller than 6s GT3 & cups. I do not see advantage changing them in 6s GT3.

Here is a photo for 7s & 6s cups.

The 996 Cups are about 2x the effective surface area of the 997

~$125/ea? One of my least costly expenditures on the GT3 so far....

996 cup ducts are really expensive and HUGE. Like $270/pr. [996.341.117.90 and 996.341.118.90] and they hang a full inch lower.
996 GT3 RS ducts look similar to the cup ducts without the riveted part. Like $270/pr [996.341.117.92 and 996.341.118.92]
996GT3 ducts are like $50/pr. [996.341.483.01 and 996.341.484.01].
997.1 GT3 ducts are like $25/pr. [997.341.483.92 and 997.341.484.92] and are about the same size as 996 ducts.

They all fit the 996 GT3 [or C2s] without problems.

I have read that the 997.2 rear brake ducts work on the 996 as well. But have not seen people installing them yet.

(see the description that it would fit the 996..)
