My search skills must be on the fritz, I know this has come up before with pictures.

I want to move the air filter in my 944S under the header panel.

I don't care about the performance, or the noise or any of the normal reasons. I just want to move it, ok? Humor me.

Does any vendor offer such a kit or am I making my own?

Thanks!!

It could possibly be made into a forced air intake by using a vented header panel!

Clint's 944

Someone did this ...and I cannot remember who. But I do recall they used some simple plumbing and attached it a cone filter and stuck it under there.
But I did come across the post where campeck routed his intake to the fender well. Maybe it will give you some ideas.

why not go S2-style

The thought crossed my mind - how pricey is an S2 airbox?

Not trying to pick a fight, Im just wondering why you want to?

It's in the way

Eight years ago when my 944S was running - before it tossed up a rod bearing - I was going to install an accusump there. Now that I'm hopefully going to get my 944S back on the road by spring, I still want to put an accusump there.

I know I know, an accusump is not necessary unless you do extreme track use. Which is why my street driven, autrossed twice, 944S threw up a rod bearing.

I'm also moving the stock oil cooler up front. Why? I have a nice, brand new Motul oil cooler collecting dust in my garage and I hate the stock cooler. Also, after a rod bearing failure I should replace the oil cooler. The OEM unit is way too expensive compared to an external one.

I should have the S2 airbox still in my parts car.
PM me if interested.

Here's my setup on an s2

944CS

the S2 airbox would only be beneficial if you also installed the S2 front bumper and air duct...otherwise you'll feel no difference compared to the stock S box

I appreciate the info, this is not for a performance boost. I want to clear the area for an Accusump install.

Excellent - I have enough left over parts from my supercharger to copy that setup. Does the S have the same hole you used to run the pipe? What diameter is it?

Does the header panel on the S just bolt on?

S header panel just bolts on. Yep, yessir.

What's this accusump you are talking about then?
