I have a K&N, new in box, that I had for my '00 S but never installed. I guess I should put it in the for sale forum.

Unless you're capable of doing *all* the work yourself, it's always cheaper...

Ideally, you'd disconnect the wires at the rear of the CD player and test from there all the way out to the speakers. I wouldn't test with the wires still attached, as it may harm the CD player's...

Out of phase speakers definitely DO matter. If they are out of phase, one speaker cone is moving in when another is moving out. That causes a diffused sound image, and the low end (bass) is...

I modified four jackstands just for this reason. I welded about a 3"x3" flat plate to the top, then a 1-1/2" piece of pipe to that. Picture the top of the jackstand as a flat plate with a small...

It's called marketing.

Notice how Mobil 1 meets so many specs? That's because there's not 2 cents worth of difference between them, and it's not rocket science to meet them. But, as we know when...

All true, but...

Porsche doesn't "design" oil. They don't manufacture it, or even package it.

The guy that designed the tranny writes up a spec for it, and the lowest bidder gets a contract to...

The problem is that you would normally use a GL4 in the transmission, because as I understand it most GL5s are corrosive to the soft metals found in there (copper, brass). However, the Boxster uses...

Funny sideline about the GM LS series...
