Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was reading the Tech Q&A today on PCA and enjoyed this response from Joel Reiser, particularly since it meshes with thoughts that I have had on the subject of air intakes: "Classification: Engine Subject: 1999 996 C2 intake muffler Model: 996 C2 Year: 1999 Total Mileage: 73000 Car Use: Combination Street and Track Question: I have been looking at air intake systems and I understand the Fabtech system has one remove the intake muffler from the air box. Can I remove the intake muffler with the stock system and inprove the air flow and what are the risks with back fire? Thanks William Answer: When you say FabTech I assume you mean FabSpeed. If you have something else in mind, give me a little bit of information about it. I have never heard of th e 996 backfiring due to intake mods. As far as I know it's all good. The airboxes comply with the Swiss noise laws, which I consider to be irrelevant in the US. Most car people in the US prefer a more open system which will make really nice sounds when you get on the power." It just makes good sense that Porsche would have a restrictive airbox, just as they have a restrictive muffler, to accomodate noise restrictions in every part of the world. Anyway, not to stir up a hornet's nest, but I thought it would be interesting to post the opinion.
