I thought I got nice seals all the way around and tightened the clasps so that they were firm up not too tight.
Leading evidence: 'Tighten clasps so' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'advise is' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace (or possibly past due) i'd have these done regardless' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

If any are found suspect my advise is to replace all 6.

However, if the plugs are due to be changed (or possibly past due) I'd have these done regardless.

Suggestion
While when the engine is cold I don't use a lot of throttle what throttle I do use the engine promptly responds to it.
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.

A new owner of a 996. Last week I pulled the air box off to take a look at the filter and placed the housing back on. I thought I got nice seals all the way around and tightened the clasps so that they were firm up not too tight. I am driving the car now and notice slight hesitation when I press the throttle in first or second gear. Couple of questions.
1. Its getting colder here in PA. Although the car is always garaged is the weather affecting the throttle response at all?
2. the hesitation seems to go away after a few minutes of driving.
I don't know if its always been this way or I am hyper sensitive now and this is always the way its been because I've started to fiddle around the car a little bit.
thoughts?
It has been my experience throttle response is unaffected by temperature. While when the engine is cold I don't use a lot of throttle what throttle I do use the engine promptly responds to it.
The car is I take it "new" to you? My advice would be to do an E-gas calibration.
The steps should be in the owners manual. From my memory: With your foot off the gas pedal throughout this procedure with the key off turn the key to the 1st position. Leave the key on for at least 60 seconds. Turn the key off for at least 10 seconds. The next time you start the engine the calibration is done.
Be sure the gasoline is not stale. Often a used car when on the market doesn't get driven much and if the car remains unsold for a while the gas can get stale.
Also, the seller may not fill up with premium but instead decides to play it cheap and just fill up with regular. In some areas of the country there is the switch from summer blend to winter blend. Running summer blend gasoline in "winter" (colder weather) can cause some driveability problems.
There are other possible explanations. Could be the engine/fuel system needs a Techron treatment. There is the question of the condition of the plugs and coils too.
Another possible explanation can be a bad MAF. A bad coolant temp sensor can supply the wrong temperature to the DME and the engine may not be fueled appropriately for its real temperature.
Do the E-Gas calibration first. Be sure the fuel is fresh and the right octane. Without knowing the history of the car I'd be tempted to try a bottle or two of Techron. However, if the plugs are due to be changed (or possibly past due) I'd have these done regardless. At the same time the tech -- or if you do this work yourself, you -- can examine the coils. If any are found suspect my advise is to replace all 6.
