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.

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.

Hello all!
purcahsed one of the evo v-flow air induction kits. any thoughts and /experience with this unit in a 1999 C2. Now that I have it and after reading some posts on this and other websites- I am not sure it is worth installing?
TIA
Reread some more posts. There is a lot written about the Evo V-Flow and most seems to be positive. I bought one and like it. It seems to be the best solution to open up the intake from any company so far.
I installed in on my 2000 996 a few months ago and no complaints. I had an earlier model of a high-flow air intake so it is difficult to notice a different (for me). It is a much higher quality system than what I had and would definitely recommend it over the stock air intake. It was a very easy install and I am not mechanically inclined...
By the way, I found this forum researching the EVO system and have not left.
Let's not delude ourselves.
The stock air box and element are the same on the standard 996, the X51 and likely (the element is the same) on the GT3. The X51 breathes less air than the stock box delivers. Would P deliver the GT3 with a limiting airbox (rather simple to design and build)? But the standard engine breathes better.
Has flow and velocity improved? That's engineering and I know who I'd rely on.
#1 cause of MAS sensor failures are third party CAI's with oiled elements.
This is flavor of the year. Next year the evo will be forlorn and some other holy grail of airflow will be sucking up our dollars.
Noise. No doubt these CAI's sound a lot better than P's approach.
Probably should not post this. Whatever, I think about getting one every year on every P I buy. But let's not delude ourselves: all we want is some noise to rationalize buying these cars.
Should have c70Pete chime in and give his views. I think threeOh hit it on the head. With all the R&D that Porsche has put in to develop HP, there is a reason they design what they do. It really doesn't matter who makes the Aftermarket intake. How much better is it REALLY over OEM. I know many of people who have had mid range RPM hick ups do to sucking in hot air on WOT. I also informed of this with various dyno runs done by my guys in Germany. The top Tuners like RUF, Manthey, Cargraphic, PSI will use OEM air box and achieve amazing REAL WORLD HP on all of their powerkits. They have even experimented by cutting holes in OEM air box to measure power gain if any. Alas, without us buying these aftermarket units, we wouldn't learn that they really don't work would we.
