Just called AFE for a status update on the intake. They are still standing by 3/5/21, so only 3 weeks or so to go now.

 

Looking forward to hearing the results.

 

I’m curious about the results, too. Subscribed.

 

Spoke with AFE this morning, they expect them in on Friday and shipping early next week. ::fingers crossed::

I'll start a new thread when it arrives.

 

There's nothing listed on their web site about a cold air intake for 991.2??

Actually, I cannot see how they could improve on the existing cold air inflow. What am I missing?

 

Just spoke with AFE. Dual cone intake is en route to my house. They said they have 3 left in stock.

New thread on arrival.

 

Looking forward to seeing the results!

 

Depending when it comes I may take a day off work to do some installs ... I’m getting backed up on car projects. This one is going to be a bumper off, wing off for sure.

 

Any updates, Adam? I'm relying on you as my spirit guide to convince me to order this as well, lol.

 

Still happy with it, no issues. Just can't say definitively if it added any power because I didn't do any before/after dyno.

 

was there a significant change to the induction noise? I think most of us were interested in that aspect, regardless of any slight performance gains.

 

Indeed, that's the part I'm curious about. I don't need my car to be any faster... haha.

No issues with the heatshield retrofit?

 

Bumping again - this is the reason I want one. How is the induction noise compared to stock?

 

You guys are such ricers, jk

Yes the sound changed, but it's different because the symposer was also removed at same time, so that bleating intake noise which you don't realize is there until it's gone, so it is quieter while driving and louder at high rpm if that makes sense. I really appreciated that change.

You could definitely keep the symposer with the AFE box, if you wanted to, for max induction noise. You would just have to add a bulkhead fitting similar to the one below, to the plastic airbox which wouldn't be hard to do. Just drill a hole into the plastic box and screw this on, then slide the symposer hose on it and viola. No issues with unfiltered air getting past the air filters because they are sealed on the plastic Y on the inside of the box.

I also have headers and cat-back so once the valves open, the exhaust takes over as the orchestra.

I still stand by that this thing added some power up top. I am currently working with M-Engineering on a Stage 2 Cobb pro tune for my car. Hoping to throw it on dyno to see what I make once its done.

 

Some people hate excessive induction noise, others love it.

I am in the camp of people that enjoy a nice sounding induction noise, and also particular about exhaust noise (a gripe of the OEM 991.2 <-- could be louder under WOT and a slightly different tone).

My RX-7 at WOT had an awesome sound from the intake under WOT, people always commented on it sounding like a jet, but it was quickly overwhelmed by the exhaust as I drove by.
