Reported cause
I had exactly this issue recently with a K&N CAI, 4 hrs before I was due to sell my car!
Leading evidence: 'sell my car' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'sell my car' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Run with it' (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.

I have played around with dynoing a few cars and we always run with smoothing to 0.

- before you could smog test your car - either for registration or when selling the car.

New California regulations stop the smog test center from even looking at your car if you have a non-CARB approved CAI fitted.

Suggestion
Vivid, I have an EVO intake in route (fedex seems to have misplaced it for now), if you want to work out a test, I will do back to back runs, stock vs K&N vs EVO.

Suggestion
Also - I note that this unit is 'pending CARB status' which means it's illegal in California for example, and you'd be unable to take a smog test with this unit fitted to the car.
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.

Has anyone seen the new K&N cold air intake? I first saw it in the latest performance catalog and now the new Panorama came out and there is an ad in there from a company for only $247.95 with free shipping.
The product looks good but is it just crap? Anyone seen it in person? The Evo seems to keep the filter to the right side where as the K&N places it more center. Any advantages or disadvantages? This is about half the cost of others. I appreciate anyones thoughts.
looks like th K&N is "closer" to the cold air duct than the EVO system... I think the K&N filter is also covered by a carbon fiber enclosure to dissipate heat more effectively.... has anybody tried it?
Dan,
older K&N CAI kits caused issues with MAF and/or O2 sensors - on many cars, not just Porsche - what's the current thinking on this batch?
Also - I note that this unit is 'pending CARB status' which means it's illegal in California for example, and you'd be unable to take a smog test with this unit fitted to the car.

Lucky for me I'd kept the stock parts - and was able to do a retro-fit in time!
Even when CARB certified (assuming it passes certification) - you'd then have to send off for your own official CARB decal for the CAI - which takes 4 weeks!! - before you could smog test your car - either for registration or when selling the car.
The actual sticker MUST be on the car - no point saying 'it's approved' - it doesn't fly!
Worth bearing in mind......
Chris.
It's only a "bargin" in my eyes if it out performs the EVO. An independant test was discussed on 6speed, but it seemed to fall apart. You guys got a free one to donate for a test???
Let me be clear, I am not looking for a "freeby". However, there was a volunteer on 6speed that was willing to install both and have them dyno'd independant of both EVO and Vivid. I'd love to see that test if you and EVO would provide a few "free" models.
What is your stand?
Very strange setup on the dyno. I have played around with dynoing a few cars and we always run with smoothing to 0. Setting it to 5 will generally yield a lower #, but if it is same on both, it shoudl be inconsiquential. Also, the pulls were done in 3rd gear. This is very strange. Dyno pulls should always be done at 1:1 which in our cars is 4th gear. Not sure what effect it would have on the pulls.
Vivid, I have an EVO intake in route (fedex seems to have misplaced it for now), if you want to work out a test, I will do back to back runs, stock vs K&N vs EVO. I have access to a local dyno.
Ed, I'll pay for the K&N and have it shipped to you. I'm really wanting it and $300 is not much risk. When you're done testing it, you can just use my UPS number to send it to me. Deal?
Yeah, I'd like to see that myself.
Maybe we could start a collective Rennlist "insane 996 owner modifications report" where we pool money to purchase products and subject them to independent testing.
I volunteer to be the tester for the RUF Supercharger Kit. Why? Because that's just the kind of nice and unselfish guy I am.

I agree. I think that would be a great idea. You'd hope that a board sponsor might step up and help with this since most of them have the items in stock. Then they could sell the items (slightly used a minor discount) and minimize the impact on the "pool".
