Have you tried Fabspeed airbox?

I was running a fabspeed airbox and a K&N filter for a while. I am now of the opinion that proper air filtration is the most important consideration. If there is even a chance that something is getting by the K&N, It has no place on my car. Since the fabspeed box doesn't work with the Mahle filter, I don't use it any more.

The Fabspeed airbox and the reusable K&N filter are available if anyone cares to make me an offer.

airbox holes
I did something similar to E30m3.
I drilled holes in the factory airbox cover where the oem plastic dimple markers are, using a larger diameter than the Motorsound option. Over the front funnel lip, I glued "bright chrome plastic" door edge molding. To the uninitiated, and to some who are, it looks almost the same as the real deal.
Sound difference? I have B&B headers(previous owner) and Fister III's, so I'll never know!

I ordered one of these from Fabspeed and paid for express shipping so I could get it before my appointment with the dyno. The airbox cover didn't ship for a week so I just canceled the order. When I first ordered it, I thought it was made from actual CF, I'm kinda glad I canceled it, I would have been upset when I got the cover and found out it was "fake" CF. I would have had to paint the part, I can't stand that kind of fake stuff.

I had a Fabspeed ...
...airbox and K&N filter. It did amplify the Varrioram 5,000 RPM sound. If truth be told, I got tired of oiling the K&N, so I went back to stock...well sort of. I added the intake snorkel from a 993 Turbo....it is possible because I have a fixed tail and deleted the tail raising/lower mechanicals.
The only way to verify any HP improvements would be a back to back dyno pull with the Fabspeed VS stock filter. I am certain this data is available somewhere. For $200, I wouldn't expect miracles.
