POST your intake mod here

[Perfectlap]

my fried and toasted cats are getting replaced with Fabspeed headers and possibly their muffler.
So....which intake would you go with or is the money better spent new software?
It seems like all of the intake units sell for about $300 which seems a little steep to me for such simple hardware. I'm hesitant to spend on both the intake and ECU upgrade because I've a long list of new things I'd rather put the mod money towards..namely shocks and a set of 997 turbo replica wheels

did this to fit the 3.4L. this is a BMC DIA air box with a MAF housing out of a BMW 540i and some custom silicone plumbing. sounds awesome.

the DIA box is around $200. the maf housing was $20 from someone on bimmerforums.com. the silicone hoses, joiners and clamps were another $200, but that's only because i had to buy a 135deg hose from samco to fit the angle of the 3.4L. that one was like $100.

if i had to do this to a regulat boxster, it would be around $265 total.

FYI, in this process, i found out that a lot of the aftermarket intake kits use the STOCK tubing & just swap out the airbox for a 'cold air' box. the BMC DIA is closed & you can plumb the airbox inlet directly to the car's body inlet.

props to cloudsurfer w/ the design idea & to JAAY for a lead on the MAF housing.

I can vouch for the sound of that intake. It sounds incredible.

tell us some about what the changes did for/to driveability and mileage.

I have the Evolution Motorsports intake on my vehicle. Maybe a slight blip in hp, but the sound is awesome !

Question, if most of these aftermarket intakes use the same (more or less) cone filter, what difference is there between them all?
By the way I'm sure we would love to hear clips of some of these mods for comparison.

Somewhere "Geppetto" is producing this intake for companies like Evolution Motorsports, FabSpeed and FVD/Brombacher, because they're all offering essentially the same product. In fact, FabSpeed's intake is actual Evo's . As far as sound is concerned, at idle its virtually undetectable. However, put your foot in the radiator, and it just screams !

Has anyone made the Pedro intake? I know its not as fancy as the ones you all have but hows that turn out?

I';ve noticed that the Agency Power intakes look the same as well and are cheaper by about a hundred bucks, slightly more than insite's DIY.
My only concern is if it will be too loud with the headers and mufflers going in.
I've done these sorts of mods on other cars but the gains were better so i didn't feel like it was 'all show ...w/ just a little more go'.
Makes me wonder if I'll get a great sound with the stock intake and all the other mods just at a sligthly lower decibel.
