What are the competition charging for the same pipe?
Also didn't I read this be done by putting a cap inside the standard tube.
There are guys out there Daz that want to block the resonator while keeping the OE look they effectively bung the res hole then put the OE induction back over it . but the only gain from that is the slight induction note increase , they wont be benefiting from the incresed note from using a sports filter and improved cold air induction from using both the sports filter and the smooth pipe as the OE pipe due to its shape creates turbulent air which doesnt move as smoothly and quickly as smooth flowing air . the idea is to get as much cold air in as quick as you can . note the tiny little things porsche do to reduce output on the carraras to stop them being to close to the flagship models .
little things I have noted are
rearward facing air intake grille , gt3 has forward facing bigger openings creating more ram air
single air intake into the air filter , funny changed on the gen2 to a twin and the bhp is higher
dense paper air filters
smaller plenum and throttle body than gt cars and also the gen2 again more bhp
So that tells me that improvements can be made in those areas
then they put a restricted map on the car
and not an ideal high flow exhaust all those little things add up and we can tweak some or all those things to see real gains against the stock car. :thumb: :thumb: :grin:
Some will argue that those gains are negligible or not at all but my argument is always in that case why did Porsche change those areas on cars that produce higher bhp if they dont make a difference.
also on my old gen 1 I changed all those things aero/gt3 rear engine lid and wing
induction kit, sports filter , gt3 throttle body and plenum , remap, and a high flow big bore sports exhaust with 200cell cats. and it most certainly made a considerable difference over the stock car. I am not saying everyone should go that far as everyone wants different things from there 911 but my point it these things do work some giving higher results than other but at a price . I think the induction mod is the best value for money mod you can do and have always said its the first thing every 996 and 997 owner should do. :thumb:
