My personal opinion: Who are you, probably a person with little or no schooling in cars, to buy a $100 intake that "upgrades" the stock intake over the Porsche Engineers that are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to make nearly the most perfect design possible for the car? However; they do sound cool.



Porsche engineers have to meet TUV sound standards and other such metrics, after all there is no such thing as a race car that whispers. (electric excluded) As for the de snorkel crowd, I removed the little dip cup that looks like a holy water holder and polished and replaced the trumpet. I've seen that same design all the way back to my dad's 396 SS on the side of the carb cover, my guess is it accelerates the air, I'm going to claim here for the fist time a true +5 at the wheels just for taking the prayer cup off, why not fabspeed would. Oh and regarding the four turns in the airbox, to keep water out maybe?
