I understand where you're coming from, Eric. I have always questioned the value of these aftermarket mods, which is why I was so willing to go back to the stock airbox in the first place. But there's no question in my mind that the car isn't as torquey now. I can feel it.

I drilled my airbox just like in the pictures above. It made a nice sound when I was giving it some, but more power? Not in my car anyway.
I just installed some new Fabspeed mufflers and they are quite loud. Don't do this if you want a quiet ride either.
I always read about claimed HP gains from Air boxes, mufflers etc, but I can't feel it.

The hole pattern that Porsche molded into the airbox lid on the motorsound lid is clearly visible on the stock lid if you angle the outside surface under the light.
I couldn't believe it when my motorsound cover arrived and I compared the two.
I could have drilled the holes myself. The chrome stack does dress up the
engine compartment though, and since I'm into Concour... Drilling out that
pattern may be a starting point. Large holes like those shown in previous posts will put you back into the noise level that you weren't fond of. Since I sold you
the freakin' stock lid the least I could do is share my observations.

As a newbie, I am getting used to the way these boards work... It seems like about 2/3 of you are very supportive and helpful and the other 1/3 seem to fit into the "*****" category.
Thanks to the 2/3.

Holy s41T you guys.. you're relentless. I doubt my inake got me power but it did drop weight and I like the sound. Pffffft. When I'm done with my weight loss regime it will be like adding 10 HP to my car..
