deliriousga is correct:

1) the oil problem is when people reoil the filter. If its a brand new one then you should be find.

2) no hp gains for boxsters

Wipe it down to get access residue off at initall installation. When re-oiling please allow to dry for at leat 24 hours and wipe down. Key here is oil=BAD.

I thought I would add something here that Imagine auto is doing a group buy on these right now.

I have a de-snorked 2000 S with an EVO intake fitted with the K&N. The butt dyno says it work.

Well I installed the K&N filter on Sunday (I wiped it all down as suggested) and I must say there is definitely a difference.

The motor no longer seems choked at 6K and downshifts are smoother due to easier throttle blip.

I am sure it would not show much on a dyno but a definite improvement.

hmm seems risky. I just got the MAHLE airf fileter from PAP-Parts (delivered in one day). No oil required.
THose MAF are NOT CHEAP.
