Personally I think the sound is nice but the performance increase is not really noticeable. For the money I wouldn't say that it was a worthwhile upgrade, but that is just my opinion.

By the looks of the snorkel, the route the air takes in the intake box and the restrictions of the intake pipe that the EVO setup would allow air to flow more freely. HP gains? I'm sure their nominal. If we had some sort of forced induction I'm sure the upgrade would make a huge difference. But being normally aspirated you would think the numbers do grow in the higher RPM range, but not by much.
Wingnut2u, if you don't want your new intake setup I'm willing to run back down to Dallas and make you an offer just like the other stuff I bought.  
P.S. As you can see the painted bumperetts aren't on in this pic.

Especially for the base Boxsters, I dont think the higher-flow intakes make much of any performace difference, but they sure sound great. BTW, make sure there are no vacuum leaks resulting from the install, thats a great way to start lighting up the CEL.....

I've drove about 200mi since i put it on (went to the dragon). It sounds good and feels good, and no problems at all. I really only got it for my exhaust that is going on next week, now that is going to sound good!

I guess everyone missed the Excellence article where they pulled the pants down on ZUCS a few years back for their intake that made LESS HP on the dyno?? ZUCS stood for Todd Zucione. Same guy who owns EVO. He shut down "ZUCS" and renamed it "Evolution Motosports". Buyer beware. Now he has worked with Sharkswerks to crack the security code on the GIAC software and will be facing LARGE lawsuits. GIAC dumped them like a bad habit after working with them for years.
