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.

I miss my EVOMS, it looked somewhat factory and certainly changed the engine's note.

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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What's the deal about cold air intakes? They don't get the air from outside the engine compartment like the stock air box and their filter area is much smaller than the stock air filter. Wouldn't it be better to put a K&N filter in the stock air box?

POST 2Original post

Yes that is true. Keep the stock airbox and run it with a k&n or Bmc filter. If you are after looks go for the 997 airbox. Cheers

POST 3Original post

stock or BMC - skip the K&N - your MAF will thank you

POST 4Original post

want more sound...try the Gillette Mod.... I did it and loved it...in fact when I sold the car I forgot it was in there, left it on....great mod for like $1.88 AND you get a can of shaving cream to use!!!

POST 5Original post

I miss my EVOMS, it looked somewhat factory and certainly changed the engine's note. Not sure about extra HP though as claimed. Go light with the filter oil or don't run any at all and you'll be fine. I think Fabspeed has one that looks bling too. But I've read about a lot of issues with the K&N units.

POST 7Original post

The new RS has two conical cotton intakes, fyi.
