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.

Suggestion
(although a cople of the other good ones also use some red tubing, but not all red)
Leading evidence: 'Use some red tubing' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use some red tubing' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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've heard talk of a legendary "red bit", I assume some induction tweakage for a 996.
Can anyone tell me more about it, i.e. what is it, what does it do?

I've got one on my 3.4 as well. Very nice sound when coupled with the sports exhaust as well.
I think Fabspeed make a different one for a GT3.

By the looks of the fabspeed website the 'red bit' is a bit of silicone hose which won't fit the GT3 induction arrangement.
Their GT3 induction kit looks pretty much like a standard airbox with the cover removed! Looks to leave the filter element a bit exposed. I also thought that the 3 was better with cold air directed to the filter rather than an open element sucking in hot air from the engine bay.
From what i've read a cup filter with a scoop or hose directing the cold air is the best bet for a 3. The manthey kit look's good but helluva expensive though.
