With all due respect I can't imagine anyone not named Schumacher or Hamilton would be able to feel the difference from these things. Have they been proven to add horsepower or torque? Why wouldn't Porsche have done it in the first place?
They do in fact add a couple (2-5?) more HP and the butt dyno will definitely pick it up. In reality the only tangible benefit is an noticeable increase in the intake sound. I've used K&N filters on all my cars for years except my GTS with PSE.
Yep, don't waste your$$$. I can't believe after all these years folks are still so gullible to believe this crap. You can't even measure the difference if any at all.
I have also received mine. Now, I am debating if I should install it myself or just spend some $$$ and let the dealer do the job. I got a quote for 1-2hr at $159/hr (Canadian) and I believe with their proper tools and knowledges, it should be a job that can be done within an hour.
Has anyone removed their .2 rear bumper yet, it looks a bit different around the area where bolts are holding the tail lights. Other than that, it seems quite straight forward.

Not quite. They added 3 screws hidden behind the wheel arch cover, making it further complicated.
I removed the bumper cover and to my unpleasant surprise, the air box is further in, connected to a multitude of pneumatic plastic pipes. I may be wrong, but it seems that the wing gotta come out, which was not necessary on the 991.1.
I stopped there as I know how easy is to throw an yellow code from one of those, so I’ll pay someone to install it... maybe someone more adventurous and competent could be successful. I gave up.

that case, I'll leave it for the dealer to do the installation. Meanwhile, I can still be worry-free and attend our 2 PCA event this upcoming weekend. Thanks a lot for the heads up.

No problem, same here, DE tomorrow...
I’m not so sure if the dealer will accept under warranty to install it.
