To add some clarification to this thread, The AWE Tuning S-FLO filters do make power in the 997. This is a graph taken straight off of our dyno after testing a Carrera GTS with the S-FLO filter installed-



I think that these gains are pretty solid for such a quick and inexpensive mod. By no means will adding filters completely transform the cars habits, but as I think we can all agree- every little bit counts when trying to get the most out of your car.

 

Hi , the AWE filters were the 2nd part of my tune up after fitting a Sharkwerks bypass pipe. I had been disappointed after an OEM service to see the air filters hadn't been changed and looked dirty 17K miles . I was unimpressed when Porsche said they don't change until 60K miles. I was convinced the car wasn't breathing as good as it could ( and I was right , sorry Porsche you've got this wrong , these filters OEM paper filters need changing at intervals e.g. 15k max, otherwise you are missing out. The AWE filters apparently have a much larger increase in airflow area ca. 25-30%. I decided to go for it and bought them from Regal Autosports in Southhampton UK. It was an easy fit. Immediately I started the car up I knew it was better, I took it out on first run and the induction noise was clearly different and far better ( Kind of quiet roary sound as opposed to zippy farty sound under acceleration . It amazed me then when I also realised the huge performance benefit on mpg, the car went from 18-19 mpg in town driving to 22 mpg , this was clearly evident in the first run. I have never looked back , thank you AWE for developing those filters for 911, they are superb. I fully recommend them to fellow 911 Carrera gen 2 owners.

Cheers , hope this is of help if your thinking of fitting them, well worth the investment
