Yes. My race team is sponsored by K&N. In the next couple of weeks, I will order a K&N filter from the factory for the S and post results as well.

Ed, I am willing and able to test the exhaust systems. I have also ordered a Porsche System Tester 2 to assist with my diagnosis during testing. Thanks for the kind words, and I will keep all informed of my data aquisition.

Holy crap! You've got some deep pockets there, friend! Aren't those suckers something like $3-4k or more?

[Bisimoto]

Forgive me for not being clear: I ordered a PST from Durametric for $630. I wish I had DEEP pockets..lol.

For what it is worth, here is info on the 987/Cayman.

OK, now I am REALLY doing this today!


If my friend ever stops sleeping, damn it :\

hey bisi,

did you get around to dyno testing the K & N air filter? Or has anybody else seen a dyno test for the K & N air filter?

If the filter added 5 hp and the de snorkel added 5 hp , 10 hp would be a nice gain and maybe even a more little fuel economy.

[pteam]

ok I just did the snorkel mod.

My girlfriend was convinced that it wouldnt add any sound to the car.

Afterwards she was proven wrong!!!!

She admits the car does sound admirably louder. And if you look at the snorkel from where the air enters it, that cup blocks 30-40% of the air coming straight in , the air would have to go up and over the cup, also the snorkel iteself ovbiously takes up space in the intake tube, so that would be less air in there, which would equate less horsepower.

Can't wait to see the results.
When are you planning to do this?

I desnorkeled my Boxster S yesterday. I had the same issue with it not wanting to come out. I pulled really hard several times and it wouldn't budge. I was afraid of breaking something. Then I tried twisting and pulling. You can't twist much due to the very tight space but it finally came out.

I really hope this is worth it because it will no doubt be a pain in the ass to put it back in.
