JG do you have a vented nose panel on your 944S to feed that intake of yours?

yes, but I am changing it. I have gone through 3 so far, LOL. First one was an AIR, the next one was a GT-racing fiberglass, then I had a GT-racing carbon fiber.... But my new one that's being made will look like this...........



The whole car is going for that specific look, in the front (fixed headlights, vented panel, 924 gt front bumper)

Try just removing the snorkel from the stock air filter housing... Not only sounds better, but feels better. And you still get the better filtration provided with the OEM filter, and the mod is very reversible... Never did like K&N, even back in my 911 daze...

The FG one is the one I have on my NA. I don't love it on a NA. Jesse, why didn't you like the carbon one?

it wasn't sturdy enough. you wouldn't believe what pebbles did to it. i'm talking fish tank sized pebbles.

i'm having my new vents cut into my original nose panel now.

Surprising. It looks nice in the pic. Cannot wait to see your new config.

I can't wait to finish it. I'm still working on the 944SMAX chip. My goal is to have it finished and dyno'ed on JAN 20th. Then the MAF conversion will commence. Speaking of my MAF, I need a couple more silicon hoses.......
