Fabspeed Maxflow Air Intake 997
I'm considering adding this to my '06 C4 Cab...anyone installed it? Did it change the sound? I had a similar intake on my 996 and it noticeably increased the sound (for the better IMHO)...I have no expectations that it will improve performance...
Finally, if you installed it yourself...any install issues?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

You are going to remove the stock cold air intake for an after market intake that sucks in hot air? Bad idea. I like a lot of Fabspeeds products, there mufflers and headers are great quality but this intake doesn't work as a cold air intake.

guys keep an eye out, Fabspeed is re-designing the J pipe intake for the 996/997....we will be addressing some of the concerns people have about the air going into the intake. Unless you have a GT3 decklid with scoops, I would advise you that our intake still will make more power and sound over the factory airbox.

The Evo intake is an actual cold air intake. Some of the Grand Am 997's use to use it or use the stock air box. Absolutely NOTHING wrong with the stock box. Stock box flows enought air the the stock engine. If you want more intake sound and want to keep the stock box FABSPEED makes a rubber cap for the heimholtz resonator on the stock box and then you will get he sound.

I'm not familiar with the stock 997.1 airboxes but my 997.2's is very similar to that on the GT3RS. It is a true CAI in that ambient air is ducted directly into the airbox. To Mike's point the aftermarket CAI's draw air higher temperature air from the engine compartment. Higher EAT = lower O2 density = less power. Sound will be enhanced and without any drone (on my 996 anyway) but not power.
Fabspeed's quality is unquestioned. If sound is your primary concern the CAI will be a great add but it may cost you some power and throttle response, at least in my experience. Hope it all goes well.

CAI has always been a controversial topic but after some research I noticed that some of the Grand Am 997 teams were using the EVOM. Effective for those race teams so I figure it was good enough. The x51 airbox was my 1st choice... prettier but very costly. BTW, I purchased my EVOM from Justin at Rebel Rock last year. He posted a promo price recently if anyone wants one. https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...ow-intake.html
I went over and met Justin. He is spearheading the expansion of the Motorsports division. His customer service is exemplary as is his P-car expertise. He is steadily building a local clientele through word of mouth and starting to get the word out nationwide via the internet, FB, Twitter and on RL. If anyone is interested in their products / services, hit 1 after dialing the 800 number to go directly to his extension.
I don't have any stake in RRM other than that of a satisfied customer. Sorry for the hijack.
