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.

I am looking to add a Cold Air Intake system to my 996. I've done some research here at RL, and most seem to prefer the FabSpeed and K&N systems. There is a difference of a couple of hundred dollars in price with the Fabspeed being more expensive
. Other then the FabSpeed unit looking better with the CF and all, but is there enough performance difference to justify the price
Also, is there another CAI system that is better?? Thanks in advance I appreciate any and all input
I am also considering Fabspeed. Although interesting comments in Excellence this month seem to indicate intakes can actually decrease power as dynoed. Not so sure now, need to re-read it and make sure before I buy.
Could not agree more. Save your money and disregard the claims of increased HP etc. Just my humble opinion guided by a few years of modding and then returning to stock on my own 996 and other models.
Your stock system is already a 'cold' air intake. (It takes the air from outside of the engine area). Anything else is a warm air or hot air intake. This business is a racket for the unsuspecting.
Personally, I like my Fabspeed. But intakes are like opinions....everyone has their own
Fabspeed sounds pretty mean and was qood quality...does it do anything.....not sure...do any of them?
Pic of my engine bay....just to show a fellow AF bro
Actually, there is a alternative for those that love the sound of a CAI but do not want to lose HP... the Schnell intake is less than $100 and removes the noise reducer on the factory airbox. Nice way to wake up the intake growl without sacrificing power.

Only other real good intake systems are those carbon fiber intake boxes by Carbino and there are a few other brands out there. These CFI's will run you from $1000 to $2000 dollars who knows if there worth it though.
