Thanks, Fabspeed for the info.
However, can you explain why your red rubber tube is better than the stock black rubber tube? I know that it's "smooth" on the inside, whereas the stock tube is ridged, so your piece removes any turbulence. And I understand how the red cap removes the Helmholz resonator. But is that it? Why would something so simple make the difference that your dyno graphs are showing? I guess I want to believe it, but am just skeptical.

I've got the EVOMS cold air kit on my '05 997S (along with many other mods, including your Fabspeed mufflers), and it's got several clear advantages over stock. The EVOMS kit is also smooth on the inside, but offers a different filter which acts as a venturi. It also offers some audible sound benefits.

And yes, your's is $225 vs. $595 for the EVOMS, but I just can't see how the smooth hose is that much better than OEM. Please, help me see the light.

Also: why are the airbox components in your pics wrapped in tin foil? Is that meant to keep the air flowing through cooler?
Thanks!
