Mine were $991.20 (I see what they did and here) and about $40 for shipping. Can’t comment on sound as I haven’t started it up and won’t for at least another week or so. I can’t imagine it would alter sound that much.

it should add turbo noises

polobai

That would be awesome. I do expect to get a bit more intake sound from the filter-if anything this should amplify it a bit.

@4 Point 0 @polobai The inlets being larger, featuring larger bends, and removes the Turbo inlet sound-baffle section, makes for a more vocal turbo when driving. Sounds really goodl ( IMO ) .
You can also hear the DV's working / releasing air.

If there a recommendation on where to buy these in Europe or does everyone source directly from the USA?

Cheshi143

IMO buy direct from the source. Nobody stocks them and they will just drop ship anyways. At least allow the designers/manufacturers retain some margin to put back into development.

Any other recommended source? Looks like they’re sold out

I just texted the manufacturer/lead engineer. They have the the inlets on the shelf and are doing a run of the silicone couplers right now. Should be ready to be delivered by next week.

Update-reinstalled the y pipe and intercooler inlets. Also decided to add mesh to the openings to help keep the leaves out.


Hopefully will keep the leaves out and will be easier to clean out than pulling the bumper and removing the inlets


Installed!

Also decided to add some for the air filter vents on the underside of the grill and the fans.

Nice work on the mesh! I wondered why Porsche didn't do it. I get it for the front radiators, but there is no reaching the intercoolers to fish out leaves.

Cheshi143

I am a tad bit skeptical on this one. The mesh (especially being doubled up) is occupying a good amount of cross-sectional space. The cure cannot be worse than the problem.

It has been proven through data-logging that there is not enough airflow that reaches the the intercooler.

polobai

I highly doubt the mesh will hinder airflow significantly to have an impact on cooling. The amount of leaves and debris I fished out of the intercooler ducts was causing way more of a restriction. Going to try this and if I notice an issue I can pull them out easily.

polobai

Also the mesh isn’t doubled up. The mesh on the underside of the grill feeds the air filter vent and the engine fans, not the intercooler ducts

Perhaps covering the car would be a more acceptable solution. I have had my car for nearly 3 years and there is zero leaves or debris.
