I don't plan on touching my airbox but I thought people's thoughts are interesting because the box comes that way from factory.

I guess Porsche engineers don't know anything about cars either.

Isn't this circular reasoning?

Cold air is good. Nice sound is good. Porsche made a reasoned compromise on the MkII cars.

That's still no excuse to hang an oily K&N cone filter in the middle of the engine compartment like it's some sort of Honda.

Many Civic owners would debate you on this... but because they are too ill from motion-sickness from bouncing all over the road, (road looks flat to me?) as a result of cutting down their springs and putting rock hard koni's and 20 inch rims on and because someone told them all of these add on's would make them go faster, they are unable to respond until their brains stop vibrating and then I'm sure they will let you know you are wrong.
