Aftermarket Intake Discussion
Did some searching and didn't find too much on the topic, so I though I'd see what people had done. I found a few options ranging from de-snorkeling to full replacement. For our convenience, they are:
1) De-Snorkel. That's been hashed to death, so I'd prefer not to discuss here
2) Air Filter upgrade (aFe, K&N, etc). Some claim MAF problems with the higher airflow of these filters. I am currently running an K&N with no ill effect. ( 33-2773 - K&N Replacement Filters, Replacement Air Filter direct from K&N)
3) "Super Stock" upgrade that replaces the intake track to smooth airflow out. Such as aFe's product ( aFe Super Stock Intake System for Porsche Boxster). Air box is not replaced. HUGE claims of 14hp increases.
4) Full replacement with a cold-air system such as Fabspeed's intake ( Fabspeed Porsche 986 Boxster/S Cold Air Intake). Modest HP increase of 7hp claimed.
So, would love to get your thoughts and experiences with these!
