Finally: Dyno charts of de-snorked 986S!!!

@ Bisimoto, do you think any gain would be had on desnorkeling a 03 or 04 boxster that lacks the "shovel" at the end of the snorkel? If so, do you think it would be a less significant gain? Also, did you get the results in on the K&N filter?

If any 2003 or 2004 owners out there have desnorked I'd like to hear your opinions as well. Thanks!

Keep up the good work. Its amazing how many people replied without any dyno of their own to show different results... All theory!

I am having trouble with allowing enough air in a cold air box setup using a K&N filter. The car a 3.4 ltr Boxster can't produce any power above 4000 rpm with the air filter but its goes like a rocket with the air filter removed.

I have been asking K&N for assistance with no response from Tech department.

I have 3.5 inch tubing from the TB to the approximate former location of the stock air box that has been replaced with an aluminium shaped cold air intake drawing air from the side vent. The filter I have is cone shaped with a filter on the sides and at the end of the cone rather than having a typical end cap. RX something as I am on vacation and don't have the number with me.

I am looking for a filter that will allow enough air to the motor 3.4 ltr headers and free flow exhaust system.

Thanks

Hey I know that they are kinda new in the Porsche world, but they are making a lot of waves and I'm sure the quality is just as good as K&N. There is a company called Evolution Motorsports and I'll almost bet my left nut that those guys could help you out on that whole intake problem that you have. Besides, my buddy owns EBS and he said that the best filters for the 986's are dry element because the MAF sensor is a little touchy.
