New Induction System - Worth Seeing
Attached are four pictures of parts of the America GS's new induction system before final preparation. Yesterday, someone asked me if I "loved" it. I replied that I cannot love an inanimate object, no matter what it is, how rare it is or how much it is worth, but that I can be pleased with something. And I am as pleased with what has been done on this as I have been re any component for any vehicle in quite some time. Forgetting the weight savings of approximately 11 pounds (high and rear) over the metal equivalent, the induction (air) box has such features as electronically operated dual carbon fiber resonance flaps, titanium shafts to operate the butterflies and titanium fasteners throughout. Additionally, the metal tool to make the box has been constructed so as enable the use of different center sections so as to be able to produce boxes for 997 Cup Cars and certain 997 street cars. Taken together, this is why I presumed upon all of you and included in the title of this thread words I have never used before, "worth seeing".
that piece is phenomenal!

looks great but I know it is out of budget already.
any chance of a cheap version in plastic version? no titanium, no carbon.
the ISV seems to be need cleaning on a regular basis. is it easy to access to remove as it appears to be tucked away at the back there.

I am very much afraid that, in quantities of one, the price could be $10,000 or more -- which might be OK for a new Cup Car, GT3RS, etc. but is hard to justify for a 964 -- unless, of course, one brings the entire engine to the spec of the engine on top of which this component will sit.
