Power and torque change little I think 9M says the 964 responds better to this treatment and an ECU re-map is needed to make any real gains (10-15 BHP).

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Dave, do a search on the Porsche forum over the last 6 months. The topic has been covered. You will get more than a few thoughts there.
However, in a nutshell, judging from Scottster's experience with his induction/exhaust tuned 993 Carrera (not C4)...
...the sports exhaust (from Haywood(?) and Scott I think) gave the car much more character and was a lot louder than standard - tailpipes were less subtle tho' so you may want to retain original tips.
...the sports air box could have been drilled himself - looked like an 80 quid rip off to me, although when combined with the KN did give a raspier induction noise. Maybe drill the box yourself and just get the KN.
...combined with a rechip at AmD, he got his power up from 272 to about 285 (correct me if I'm wrong Dave!). How much of that is chip, exhaust, filter is anyone's guess.
Cheers
Domster
My car was fitted with the Techart kit when I bought it. I think it is probably worth doing for the sound alone!!
I seem to spend most of my time driving around with the windows down and the CD off just listening to the soundtrack... Power and torque change little I think 9M says the 964 responds better to this treatment and an ECU re-map is needed to make any real gains (10-15 BHP). Is your car pre or post varioram?
Thanks for the info guys. My car is a Varioram type (from 96 onwards) and you are correct that the non Varioram was 272 bhp with Varioram being 285.
Both Hayward and Scott and Techart have the characteristics I am looking for , by your comments, so will contact them both for further info.
If you want to hear a varioram + motorsound airbox car with Robin Sun's RSR exhaust conversion let me know.
www.p-car.com
for details of the exhaust. No affiliation, etc., just a satisfied customer.
I live in Reading and work in Surrey but i travel around a lot anyway.
Where are you based?

I can second a vote for Verysideways 993 it really does sound purposeful,,the motorsound airbox was a Porsche option and the RSR boxes in my opinion give the best sound on a 993 I have heard so far.
