Fabspeed Intake

I just wanted to share my positive experience with Alex at Fabspeed. I purchased their new intake for the 997.2 and there were a couple of issues upon receipt. Alex solved them immediately and with a positive attitude - I was impressed with the level of customer service displayed.

The piece is built very well. It sounds incredible at higher RPMs and visually it is beautiful to look at. I will try to post some pics later, but I find myself opening the engine compartment just to look at it. In the world of mods for our Porsches (of which there are too many), this one is a slam dunk for cost/benefit/looks.

I totally agree about that piece. I wish I had a .2 JUST so I can have that intake. I wish they came out with something half as beautiful as that intake for my .1, instead of that eyesore of an orange silicone tube called an "intake".

Is it possible to retrofit if you get another oping in the deck lid like you do for x51?

Time for a wash and I can't wait for a drive. I'm glad it finally happened.

Now, I need to save up some money for those insane HRE wheels you have....

Do ur yourself one better and spend $150 and get a BMC Air Filter. I have this combo on my 05 S and my car was transformed VERY nicely.
