Hi Guys, need some advice/opinion:
I bought my car with both, Intake & Exhaust Fabspeed already installed. Looks like the Engine will performs better with the Original Stock Intake box rather than with my aftermarket, Fabspeed Intake. I was told to replace my aftermarket with stock ones.... IM DOING SO....
PLEASE give me Ur Advice/Opinion.....

About all I can add to this advice -- and my hunch is it is good advice -- is make sure you do the aftermarket intake to stock intake switchover correctly and then drive the car. Alot.
Sincerely,
Macster.

^That's the one I'm running.
Yep, that design doesn't make any sense at all.
He is running the exposed flat panel intake. It is sucking all the engine heat with ZERO cold air entering the MAF...

Agency power also makes a retrofit kit that uses the back of the original airfilter housing, adds another intake for a total of two, called dual flow. They use the original filter size. No inside air drawn in. They have three versions starting @$450

Best advice is to keep your stock intake.. If you have large turbochargers I do have a solution but already have large injectors and are making over 600 wheel HP..
Go look at the factory 997TT. Cold air has to enter the airbox. You can mimic the 997TT airbox by cutting a extra hole in the factory box. However, you need to fabricate another duct from your rear wing to the box. You CANNOT have engine heat migrating into the airbox.
There are very little gains with aftermarket filters > stay with the Mahle original filter element! If you want to have more power>torque> change your turbocharger inlet pipes/ducts.

The factory Mahle filter is very good, it is very large with alot of surface area.
