I notice that the stock snork seems to get larger as it enters the intake manifold which is the opposite of what I am suggesting. Also if the new Boxster/Cayman animals have a larger air vents there must be a valid reason, more cooling air perhaps? Is there a larger or should I say, more open replacement for the vent cover on earlier models? You understand I mean less metal around the opening cover and more sreen area? Any of you engineer types have any thoughts on this, Jim etc.?
