This is interesting.. Now I wonder what the performance increases might be? I have reached out to Rennline and they will email me info on it soon they said. Unless @Rennline wants to respond here in this thread

At a minimum it outperforms in the aesthetic category !

I concur wise sir

It definitely looks the business. But it could be a filter kit lubed with snake oil. Interested to see how the snorkel area adapts to the engine cover, since it wasn’t shown on the web site. Flow data would be nice. I know their carbon work is top notch.

Does this come with a matching circular bellow to seal against the decklid? Other it might be sucking in hot air from inside the engine bay.

It is shown in the installation instructions link under the pricing area on the website.. look for the red box with an arrow

hatchetf15

Don’t see it there and install instructions don’t load for me. No big since I won’t be buying one.

Justin76

lord you boomers LOL... joking.. it's attached

Dang, that looks tempting. I imagine it sounds good and doesnt ingest the hot air from the airbox like other airboxes

@Rennline do you have a Canadian distributor or do we have to buy from you in the USA and get done by Canada customs? I'm interested for sure.

Unless I missed something, Rennline hasn’t made any claims of increased performance.

Rennline has brought out some nice products for the 996 recently.

It states “better flow dynamics” so I guess they’d have a metric to prove that. Think their new stuff is pretty cool especially since no one really makes things for our cars. Either it’s OEM + Astronomical in price or absolute crap.

Justin76

it's a nice piece of kit as i have this on my car.. and yes @TheChunkNorris is correct as well as some type of performance gains should be expected for the intake..

Here is a safe guess on the performance, "up to a 20hp difference over stock"

I'd want to see a comparison of the MAF area to stock. Messing wth that zone can wreak havoc. And while it is an improvement over the stock 996 airbox in terms of looks, I don't know that it's $1500 better looking. I think the 997 airboxes look pretty good in there, don't mess with the MAF placement and airflow, and don't cost as much.

EDIT: Also if that's an oiled air filter I'm out.
