Did you do the exhaust also, or just the cold air kit? Which car was yours , btw, I'm drawing a blank and the link to your website does not work. Thanks,

Mike

The video is directly from the Fabspeed website. I did do the Fabspeed exhaust on my car too.

The website should be up? I'll go check

Did you replace the air filter also, and if so which brand? Thanks again.

I'm on the fence about buying one of these. I doubt it adds power, but does it lose power? That is what I am afraid of. I'd love to add the sound of it, but I am hesitant to mess with Porsche's design. Surely they know more about the intake and engine tuning than we or Fabspeed does right?

If it added or kept the power the same, with no risk of CELs and added the mean sound(on top of my Fabspeed exhaust) I would get one of these. Any comments?

I have fabspeed's maxflo exhaust for awhile; sounds good. added the air intake from evom last more; the combo sounds great. very loud around 5000 plus rpm. Great for waking up the neighbors on saturday mornings

recently had the ecu tuned by evom..( rack up approx 1k miles).. notice some gain in power.. feels a little more peppy..
I am very happy w/. the set up.

It seems that overall, there is positive response on the Fabspeed Cold Air Intake Kit. I installed mine about a month ago, and after a few hours my CEL came on. After reverting the car back to factory setup, I took the car into the dealer where they proceeded to tell me that my MAF sensor went bad, and replaced it under warranty. Nice increase in intake sound, but no noticable difference in performance...or at least for the few hours I had it installed.
