Arrow Need Motorsound Airbox! ASAP!

Anyone have a motorsound airbox that they want to get rid of? I have a K&N filter on my car....hate it...and it looks cheap! If anyone has one sitting around, or wants to sell (kinda poor right now) I would REALLY be happy! Contact me!

I was at a learning session sponsored by a PCA awhile back. They told me to drill small holes instead of cutting out a large piece of the cover. I agree why pay couple hundred dollars for something you can do with a drill in about 10mins. Speaking of which! I be doing that tonight or tomorrow.

Check eBay. I recently sold mine there or just drill a non-motorsound unit.

Adam, what year is your car? I may have a complete airbox at home, which I think is for a 96-98varioram car. You can have it, just take care of shipping no sweat

For sure! This is lieterallyt he best forum ever! I was always warned by BMW driving friend shtat Porsche owners were rude to young guys like myself...this is as far from true as can be! I am so pleased...after years of Subaru STi driving, htis is VERY refreshing....Subaru drivers try to get money for every OEM part possible, from crappy bulbs to screws....whereas porsche owners are always willing to help! I am so happy I switched! THANKS! Get back to me Chirs!

I just cut two large holes out of the airbox from my 97 993. What were the reasons/differences discussed at the tech session over why small holes instead of large?

Thanks!

Kim, you may be right. When I return home, I'll have to dig it out and verify. I can at least provide the cover
