Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.
Exactly! If you dig that louder intake noise... go for it. If you are hunting performance gains... forget it. The stock Porsche intake is excellent.

I have used K&N air filters for 30 years on highly modified dirt track and offroad racing machines. They make an excellent product and in the world of dirt track racing there is no substitute. They have their place... just not on my Boxter. Those boys in Stuttgart spent thousands of hours engineering the intake right the first time. I am not going to undo their fine work by bolting on an aftermarket intake just to make my car louder. To each his own though.
