Better idea, lets get a kit to you and we will just have a different part number for the Carrera and Carrera S with/without the 3rd pipe.

 

Woohoo, so I just ordered the side muffler pipes and the x pipe, can't wait to hear how they sound AND the power increase, not to mention, the 45lbs of weight I'm getting rid of with this kit. Only bad..3 weeks Later when I get bored, I might change out the headers/cats as well.

 

We have yours and then Carrigan X-Pipe we are working. We are finishing intake testing today

 

http://www.agency-power.com set out to add to its already strong horsepower proven exhaust components for the new Porsche 991 Carrera. Our next performance product is this cold air intake box. Prototype seen, the cold air intake box retains the factory air scoops that directly plum air into the voluminous airbox which features an enhanced air intake tube to the throttlebody with a massive K&N air filter which greatly improves airflow over the stock system. Since air intakes are designed to suck in air from the aerodynamics of the vehicle in motion, we tested the intake kit on a Mustang dyno utilizing high powered fans to simulate air going through the decklid scoops and into the box. Watch the video to see what the results were and stay tuned for pricing and finished product!

 

Price on the cold air box?

 

Will have it released in the next 30 days.

 

Any advice on how I can plug up the vacuum hoses? I have the Carrera S with no Sports exhaust. And is there 2 hoses that need to be plugged? Thanks. hahha just saw the post above..

 

The intake will probably be around $700. Need to get material cost, powdercoating, labor, filter, etc all figured out first.

You can use a vacuum plug or a simple bolt inserted in the line.

 

I've done the bolt thing before, will work for sure. What if I just put in a plastic pipe/hose between the two vacuum hoses so that they would just share vacuum between each other? Would that work? One more question, sorry for being a pain. What if, I just unbolted the whole exhaust as one piece (leaving the headers on) without taking the bumper off. Would the entire exhaust possibly just come down without having to remove the side muffler cradle/shroud? I'm just trying to speed up my installation without doing anything that I don't have to, if possible. Another option is taking off the side mufflers one at a time and just carefully wiggle it out mabye? Thanks

 

If it is just vacuum actuating, then you could do that.

For the uninstall, not entirely sure. I was not hands on in the on and off process. You can leave the headers on for sure. Check out all the pics and hopefully some might help give insight - http://www.vividracing.com/blog/gall...94&gallery=580

 

It just occured to me that the bolt in the hose technique would create an uneccesary car slowing weight of .000000325 of a pound.

 

How much are you reducing the intake air temperature?

Neil - such a forum statement right there. The best way to lighten a car for a track day... take a dump!

ChuckJ - That depends on alot of factors. Being that the car is tested on a dyno basically stationary with an ambient air temp of 100F, we are not going to have anything spectacular to show. The intake box is aluminum and we have done many designs this way in the past. In fact we did a 996TT airbox like this that sold really well and we used a thermocouple gauge to show the before and after temperature and they were pretty close comparing the new intake and the stock intake. What makes the performance is the increase in airflow. The K&N paper filter designs flow much more air then stock filters while stopping more particulates. Instead of simply putting an open air filter right off the back, we choose to build a box around the filter that connected to the factory duct work. This then "seals" off the around and almost builds a consistant volume in the box for the filter to "suck" in.

Here is that original thread to show I have been doing this for a while and getting some good results - https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...w-project.html

 

Thanks.

Thanks to KCarrigan I am confident we have the 991 Carrera non S x pipe ready to go! We shipped his out today so he can install it and give it a test. The design is the same as the Carrera S version except it does not have the 3rd pipe for the float quad tip design. What we realized is that the non S and the S have different 2nd mufflers where the non S has the outlet pipe sitting in the middle of the bumper to center the stock oval squarish tips. The difference in part numbers was confirmed by my guys at Suncoast. So here we have it! Stay tuned for install pics, sound byte, and review by KCarrigan
