Do it- my indie mechanic fitted the full cold air induction kit to a standard 996 3.4 and the owner then dynoed the car- it made 24hp more than standard.

I have fitted the K&N kit to my car recently, coincidently along with Dansk sport exhausts,because the originals were shagged.

My 3.4 996 has had one for about 6 years, sounds great, no MAF issues at all (never even been replaced, never mind any fouling issues that some people report).

Suggestion

Makes you wonder why Porsche bothered to stroke the engine (replace the crank, rods and pistons) in the Facelift 996 to take it to 3.8L and give it another 20 bhp - they should have just dropped in a panel filter and been done with it.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

I'm pretty sure my mpg's far worse than it would be if the car was standard...but that would be down to my use of it and enjoying the noise

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

Hi all, I am thinking of fitting a K&N induction kit, should I be aware of any issues before going ahead or Expect good results

POST 2Original post

My 3.4 996 has had one for about 6 years, sounds great, no MAF issues at all (never even been replaced, never mind any fouling issues that some people report). I'd highly recommend it - with PSE it sounds superb when coupled with the induction bark on full throttle at higher revs

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the reply, I don't have pse but have always fitted k&n to all my cars. I had read a few posts that guys have had issues with maf metres etc

POST 4Original post

I've got a 996 C4S and was considering the same. I've read that it maybe advisable to blot the filter with paper towels to soak up excess oil so it doesn't spoil the MAF and also consider fitting a heatshield to guard against heatsoak from the engine. Have you got a performance exhaust too? I'd be interested to hear what it sounded like with an induction kit.

POST 5Original post

Do it- my indie mechanic fitted the full cold air induction kit to a standard 996 3.4 and the owner then dynoed the car- it made 24hp more than standard. I have fitted the K&N kit to my car recently, coincidently along with Dansk sport exhausts,because the originals were shagged. I am very happy with the result - and the improved mpg!

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks all for your reply's, that's more than enough reasons to go and spend a few £££

Read on some US forums that stock one is better?
