**please note the above description was so full of BS and has absolutely none of the attributes listed above:) -- But I will give it to the first person who wants it -- seriously:)

I'll take it Chris!

SOLD - to the man in Arena Red -- we'll have to meet up somewhere -- it'll save you shipping and me the hassle of shipping it:)

Very cool & thanks! That's the cheapest 15bhp I ever got! :p

I can meet you anywhere - just let me know what's best for you.

It's got the sticker on it, you WILL be fast!

Gotta be fast around here....!!!

5 minutes??? You're slipping Eric! :p

Good man, Chris.:)

Damn! I wish I could get a free 15 bhp. I already have a strut brace, so my 993 handles amazingly! Now all I need is an airbox cover!

Forgive my ignorance - but what is this part? Thanks!

Looks like a fabspeed airbox cover, should have guessed it by those very modest claims

air box cover with a big hole in it. Your air box cover and a dremel tool can achieve the same result.

This cover was on my turbo and I just couldnt wait to get it off. Funny thing is I was wiping it down to get the dirt / grime off of it and I was honestly concerned that I was going to break it while cleaning it. LOL!

This bad boy is indeed worth a few hp. I did some data logged runs a while back and got like 3-5 hp, above 4000 rpm or so. It's all posted here somewhere.

But-- this cover IS NOT compatible with Porsche's new air filter, which has the felt outside frame. This cover can't hold it in place and the filter will get sucked into the intake. I've posted pics of that problem too...

Yikes! I remember that thread.

I didn't really jump on this for the hp but mostly because I was shocked that I was going to be the first to reply! :) Actually, I was interested in it for the sound and to preserve my existing Motorsound cover. But since I've got the newer style air filter, so maybe this will look better with a clock in it (Andreas?)

I got 50 hp from my Fabspeed cover. :icon107:

I'd say it does'nt cover much. :) More like a surround

This is a fantastic upgrade. The way it sucks hot engine air (compared to stock w/ trumpet) and collapses the air filter really optimizes the engine's airflow.:icon107:

Not a biggie. At idle the air temps might be a tiny bit higher, but at speed there's so much air flowing that there 's really no heating of the air. Net result is a few hp over the stock with trumpet due to less flow restriction.

This mod is ok, just don't use the felt-rimmed filter. But K&N filters have their own issues too...

I just installed this set up today. The Fabspeed piece is very flimsey but fits ok. Over priced. I put in the K&N filter. Seems to fit ok, not perfect. If I may ask what problems have come up with it?

We'll than you'll be really glad to hear that your soon to be X-pipes will save you 50 lbs and gain over 100 HP!!!:evilgrin:

I've fitted the K & N filter a while ago. Could you let me know what the problem or potential problem might be? Thanks

Apparently a couple guys have had to replace their MAF sensor because the oil in the K&N filter damaged the sensor. A lot of people run K&N with no problems, but a couple people have had this issue. If you do a search you'll probably turn up the details about it. IIRC, one was a 993TT.

I have a couple of these lying around too... also, if I go by a $/hp equation these items should be worth alot, well more than "free to good home" that Chris accepted.

Let's see, 3.8 conversion = $12K or so, yields 30 hp.

Fabspeed airbox cover yields 15 hp, so $6000.... I think I'm sitting on a gold mine here. :)
