Cold air kit questions

Could anyone share their opinion of the Fabspeed Cold Air Kit? Perfromance gain? Sound difference? anything else? I am considering it for my 997. Thanks

Installed it on my 997 along with the K&N filter, engine has a throaty sound, no real power gain you can notice, but it sounds good. probably flowing more air, which is also good.

Just call Joe, he'll make you a deal you can't refuse.

The head mechanic at my dealership said that there would be little if any HP gain at our altitude & that if there's any intake related problem with the car, the Porsche warranty would not cover it.
