I have zero expectations of it helping gain HP. Having owned numerous modified cars, only one of them was helped by a CAI. I'm really thinking about one mostly for sound. Will probably only do it if I can find a clean used one. Not sure $900 is worth cool noise lol.

Well, since his car is a manual, it doesn't change shift points or rev match without him doing is. It does close the bypass valve in the intake which effects the sound, but it's barely noticeable.

You're right. I missed where he said he had three pedals in his first post. Sport mode on a manual is kind of a waste of money.

So tomorrow AM is the day. Viper is going to her new home Thursday and the 997 will take it's rightful place.

Having a small side business, my daughter requested I replace her Viper gear with Porsche gear


At 9 years old, I think she knows more then 50% of the adults I meet at car shows

I'm also totally addicted to my IG account and my local car buddies and I just use it for fun.

Some plate frame fun

Beautiful car! Quite confident you will be enjoying it more than your test drive as the years go by
