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

Hi all - I am having the Fister exhaust installed on my 2002 996 cab soon. Wanted to see if anyone had experience with the sound of Fister plus KN intake. Will it make a noticeable difference in the sound department? Or is Fister enough? Based on what I can tell with research the air intake will not do anything to increase performance rather just makes sound nicer. Thanks

POST 2Original post

The Fisters are enough. On my '99, I could not hear an appreciable difference between Fister and K&N and just Fister - and one very well regarded Porsche engine builder says that the K&N intake is the most poorly designed 996 CAI of the lot.

POST 3Original post

The Fister exhaust is great whether at idle or at 5k, as for the K&N hot air intake, pass on that one, the factory set up actually pulls in cold air from the rear deck.

POST 4Original post

Once you get the Fister set up installed, you will love it! Not so sure the K&N CIA will do a whole lot in the sound department.

POST 5Original post

If you're after sound performance, the fister is all you need. Once your ears get accustom to that and you find yourself wanting more db, then drop the oem cats.

POST 6Original post

The K&N is garbage on the M96. In fact, its just about crap on any vehicle for a CAI system. Their drop in filters are OK for some.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
