Intake looks great as well!!

depends what kind of dyno you test on... I'd try to use a standard one (whatever standard is) something that has recored a 996 @ 255 WHP cause thats' where its at.
look forward to seeing your results.

who knows... you may just hit the 280 mark cause you have the headers + light flywheel... I wouldn't change the exhaust though... I know here in Canada we have 94 octane and GIAC makes a 93 octane specific program.. that may give you another 5 hp... actually from discussions with people who have modded I think you will be hitting 280HP with your mods... that cold air mod will surely put you over the top...looks like it does its job... the stock airbox gets hot too easily... I'm sure your car is very quick with all thes mods!

Carlos,
Great mod. Congrats and thanks for the pix. I want to get this too and am really heartened by your comment that it was easy to install in 20 minutes. Like Dr.Peter above, I am still in warranty on mine so getting this thing out and putting the stock airbox back in before going to the dealer for any warranty work is key. So my questions are:
1.) Did Evo send along detailed installation instructions?
2.) Are any special tools required?
3.) I'm not a tinkerer...ie unskilled. Are there any special "watch-outs" that require special care lest you break something that'll cost a fortune to replace?
Any details would be appreciated. Thanks!

2. EVO did include a security torx key to remove the MAF from the stock air box. be careful once the MAF is out. all you need is a metric socket set and socket wrench and a flat blade screw driver. there is only one bolt (13mm hex, i think) which holds the actual box onto the car. the screw driver is for the hose removal.
3. no special tricks. very straightforward.

How about a group buy? Anyone want to pursue that?

i doubt his assurance on the warranty issue is binding on Porsche.
Reading the warranty book, imo this could be grounds for Porsche to balk: at minimum it gives them leverage.

Wow! $600 bones? What would a group buy net price-wise? I just find it hard to justify $600 for minimal gain in power AND sound. With PSE on the car I really don't need the sound increase and the HP is marginal. Any insight?

LVDell,
I hear you about the price to performance trade off... but you have to keep in mind that getting horsepower from a NA engine is gonna be pricey... 8 HP and better breathability and slightly better torque ain't bad - especially in concert with a chip.
