Porsche has been tuning this for a long time to give us better top end power and that nice big fat torque curve that gets us out of corners quickly.
I don't know the answer to this, just raising the question. Tuning an intake/exhaust is a lot more like tuning a musical instrument than we realize. It would be disappointing to remove the res. box and get a narrowing of the torque curve and lose 10hp in the process. Faster good, Slower bad! Any Porsche racing techs in the know on this?

Well i havent felt a decrease in power at all on my butt dyno but I do feel like ive gotten more power, especially in first gear... this could be placibo effect but if anything, i would say i had a gain.
