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

when in conjunction with an exhaust and remapped chip, you may liberate a couple of extra bhp when using a drilled airbox/KN, but it isn't a massive go faster solution

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

if it's anything like the other 911 drilled airbox conversions, it will make the airbox sound a little louder but make hardly any difference to noticeable performance when in conjunction with an exhaust and remapped chip, you may liberate a couple of extra bhp when using a drilled airbox/KN, but it isn't a massive go faster solution I like KN filters simply because you buy them once, rather than replace them at service intervals, so they pay for themselves within two or three 'filter' services

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i will change to k&N when the filter needs changing,i the meantime do you think the paper filter will do >?

POST 3Original post

yeah, don't worry about it, running on Optimax or kicking out your passenger will make much more of a performance difference

POST 4Original post

My only advice is drill it, don;t buy it. The worst £85 investment I ever made was buying a 'racing drilled airbox'. They're the same bloody thing as normal but with a few holes in the middle. Get ya Black and Decker out and achieve the same result. ps: Get the k&n too, that makes more of a diference.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

does this make any difference ? must a k&n be used or will the paper filter be o.k ?
