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

Greetings! I am new to the forum. I recently purchased a 1999 996 C2 with Tiptronic trans, and I have a question. The previous owner installed the red intake hose and BMC filter. They air box muffler is blocked off, but not removed. The big question I have is: Where is the breather hose for the Tiptronic? I read that it must have it's own filter installed when this mod is done. But I cannot find the hose and/or breather. It's possible that I'm looking in the wrong place. But I want to be sure it was done right. Can someone direct me to the correct location? Where does the hose go (or where SHOULD it go)? Without a stock vehicle to compare to, I'm a little lost. Thanks!

If you have a US car you should NOT have the TIP breather that is located on the side of the air intake pipe, (see pic from a UK 996 tip). That set-up was intended for ROW cars. [img]http://www.*****************/uploads/images/product/Air%20induction%20kit/Inductionkit.gif[/img] Sometimes they mention the TIP breather in FAQ's or info sections for these parts and all they do is confuse or panic people. They mean well - as they sell these things all over the world - but they really could help people by mentioning US spec or ROW spec and including the odd photo when referring to differences in usage. I assume your talking about the resonator bypass (the smaller pipe from air box to the larger intake pipe) opening in the top of the air filter housing? Yours should have a plastic cap installed correct? This mod doesn't do anything but change the sound or tone of the sound. Some say they 'feel' more HP in the seat of the pants. I have the Fabspeed model. It does sound less 'muffled' espy at WFO throttle settings and the throttle response 'seems' a little more 'crisper' but I doubt any claims of HP increase past maybe 1 HP!

Yeah, I figured it out, thanks. I have a USA car, no breather. Thanks!
