Horsepower gains and improved throttle response are something that most Porsche 996 Turbo owners look for. There are many ways to gain this kind of performance. Like most turbo vehicles, improving the intake system will help the engine breathe better. When an engine can breathe better, performance is obtained. With the success in horsepower and torque gains from our aluminum 996TT intake system, we have now released our high end carbon fiber cold air intake for the Porsche 996 Turbo.
The cold air intake kit is made using aircraft carbon fiber construction. Using a specialized mold process, we are able to shape and provide radiuses that offer optimal air flow directed towards our air filter. Each box is then finished to provide an OEM looking shine to it. The system features a CNC machined 6061 aluminum MAF housing which is positioned like the factory unit for no CEL issues. To eliminate any errors, we use a steel mesh inside the intake tube which keeps the air flow laminar which helps with correct readings for the sensitive MAF. This tube is then powder coated in a texture black finish.
Joining the two carbon fiber boxes together is a 3.5 inch diameter 5ply silicone tube. The air flows from the factory inlet on the spoiler from the right box to the left box where a high flow K&N filter is located. The K&N cone filter comes pre-oiled and will last you almost 10,000 miles before you have to clean it. These filters have been tested with no effects on the factory MAF sensor. The filter is sealed in the left box with 4 black Allen screws to keep it cool from engine heat. The right box uses the factory mounting point to secure the intake in place.
As tested under street and highway conditions, the air inside the box stays approximately 5-10F degrees cooler then the engine compartment air. The Agency Power intake achieves an impressive 32 wheel horsepower and 22 ft/lbs of torque in strong points of the RPM range. Peak numbers are 21 ft/lbs of torque and 7 wheel horsepower. This intake kit fits both the standard 996TT, X50, and GT2 rear spoilers. Silicone colors are available in black, blue, silver, red, or yellow. All hardware is included for installation.
