Others may disagree but the stock intake is about the last thing I want to modify on my car. I value the big fat torque curve that Porsche massaged out of these little motors more than a few hp above 6200 rpm. On a road course, torque wins races.

Thats all well and good for you 2.5/2.7 guys, but those of us with 3.2/3.4/3.6 engines in our boxsters enjoy a significant increase in power across the board by installing a Cayman S airbox. I dont feel like I lost any low end torque when I installed mine...

Id vote for installing a Cayman S air box.

You're speaking of the "use the airbox from the 2005+ boxster/cayman" Radium mentions below, true?
