I thought that is what the stock snorkel did? Pulls from near the spoiler. Thinking about it I guess its not as close as it could be to the vents and there is roomf or improvement.

Tinwan... I think K&N is generally regarded as the best kit though I'm sure there are others. I have one on mine. If it's just cold air you are after than the stock system should be okay. If you are looking for increased airflow then K&N is probably what you want. It certainly sounds great when you stomp on the pedal!

Before switching you may want to read some of the threads posted here. There seems to be some debate about K&N letting more grit into the intake, therefore into the cylinders. There is also the worry about over-oiling the filter and gumming up your AFM. I've been considering switching back to the stock airbox and filter.

You should be able to pick up a K&N cold air intake kit for under $300. I think I saw one advertised in one of the Porsche mags for $249 USD.
