Suggestion
Easy to fit and clean the filter, no stuffing around with the mass air sensor either - simply bolts straight on.

Conclusion - for less than £200 + VAT, this has got to be the best value for money upgrade you can fit to your 996 and it increases the sound a bit, especially when you change gear at high revs and floor the throttle.

You just remove the box within the air box and add the blanking plug to the hole using 2 of the 3 screws you removed, then fit the hose with 2 of the 3 jubilee clips from the original.
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 took the Fabspeed induction system off and tried running her with just the Fabspeed silencers/tips today. The result was that, by comparrison, she felt really sluggish. The engine just didn't rev up anywhere nearly so quickly.

focused air induction works amazingly well.......
have you cleaned the fabspeed induction ? assuming you can, there is always a lot of dirty captured in the air process

I agree. Mine sounds great with the new exhaust. I did run it prior with the standard muffler and it did provide some improvement.
Easy to fit and clean the filter, no stuffing around with the mass air sensor either - simply bolts straight on. Took me 20 mins tops and most of the time was spent unscrewing the standard air box to put a new filter in and then popping the screws back in.

Stu - I had a look at these a while ago - but I think the one you have said not suitable for tips. Kind of put me off as I thought th etip may make it more complicated. May have to have a look at yours when we next meet.

You just remove the box within the air box and add the blanking plug to the hole using 2 of the 3 screws you removed, then fit the hose with 2 of the 3 jubilee clips from the original. Couple this with a K&N filter and Bob's your mother's brother.

So Poo,
From memory I had to specify whether my car was a manual or tiptronic so I am assuming that they make a different one for tips. Check the online order form at

Just watched that Fabspeed video of the "cold air kit"... not really a good ad as the 'before' video had him shortshifting really low down, whereas the 'after' had him shifting right at the top of the rev range! :?
It seems the kit is really just a panel filter + cut out to draw air from the general [hot] engine bay?
If you really want cold air induction, I think the Cup filter + filter shroud is a proven way to go...

It does make a big difference Ade. It draws air down the same route as the original airbox but the silicone based hose is a better insulator than the OEM one and has a smooth interior. The advantages are, an increased air box volume thanks to the removal of the bypass pipe and the sealed box, slightly cooler air and a less turbulent airflow to the throttle body. Net result is better intake sound and an engine which revs up far more quickly than the standard arrangement.

I'm sure it must sound better: is the replacement air filter oil soaked gauze or still paper based? I know the cotton gauze filters (panel or cone) do allow a higher air throughput compared to the normal paper based filters.

I had a good experience with K&N washable filters in my previous cars: they always gave a nice induction sound and you could tell that the car was breathing slightly easier too (slightly quicker response on rev).
