Why buy a cold air intake?

[Benitom]

A while ago I asked Pat Goss from Motor Week about Air Intakes in Boxsters - here was his response

Hi Benito:

Thanks for watching! Cold air intakes do no harm at all as long as they are high quality with proper baffles to prevent water intrusion. They also don’t add much, if anything, to a stock engine but they usually sound great. I’ve had them on my Vettes and Camaros for years.

I prefer units with replaceable high flow paper filters to oiled filters due to the mess and time involved in cleaning oiled filters.

Sincerely,
Pat Goss
