While I haven't popped a K&N in my Porsche, I have tried them in other cars and bikes. Sure, I could feel an increase in the intake noise and, on some of the older cars, feel an improvment in the way that my car responded. Personally, I don't feel that a K&N filter is going to liberate any more horsepower than the factory filter. I don't want to say that it's an amlost psychological effect because I have no prior experience and haven't ridden in your car.
My feelings, and they are strictly mine, is that a filter in a Porsche is not going to add any measureable improvment by just replacing the stock filter. If it's part of an ecu change and an exhaust, then, yes, it will form part of a package that is tuned together in order to produce more power.
It's your car and $40, so it's up to you.

I am not saying there is necessarily an hp increase, but throttle response, to me, seems to improve. That is an important benefit, imo

when i get time i will actually dyno the car to see if there really is an hp increase. how much are the bmc air filter..?
ill see if i can do a air filter shoot out since. a 95.00 dyno pull gives u 3 runs. ill do it first with stock, k&n and finally bmc
we'll finally see what happens and this will be in a totally stock TT well almost totally stock i have hyperboost diverter valves from the Porsche Factory..
