Porsche 997 Carrera Carbon Fiber Competition Air Intake System (2005-2008)

Added this to my car, vast improvement noticed in performance but also sound too, was so impressed then went and purchased full Fabspeed exhaust, this really improved this 997, like a totally different car, impossible to be disappointed with the products and this company in general, shame we did not have such great service in the U.K.

Great product overall. Looks great, sounds great, and added performance. The installation was straight forward.

Installed Fabspeed intake on a 997. Installation was easy and looks and sounds great.

The quality of this product is good craftsmanship, worth what you paying for.

Sound : Definitively a noticeable change, not so much in low revs, but around 4500 rpm and up, when accelerating the sound is more ... how to explain this ? In music terms I would say it has more "bass" . As a test, I didn't tell my son anything about the Fabspeed intake, and he didn't know it was installed, but as soon as we hit the road and I accelerated, he immediately noticed something was different and he prefers the new sound. Power increase : As I didn't go through the trouble to dyno the car before/after, I can't comment on this HP or TQ gain, but I'll take your word for it :-) After all, a 997.2 4S has 385 HP with 420 Nm, so a +16 WHP represents a 4% increase. Although impressive in numbers, with sport mode or sport+ mode on, it would be very difficult to feel the difference. Overall comment : Sound is definitively more aggressive in high RPM, performance probably a bit better and the air intake certainly looks fantastic when I open the engine cover !!!

First off, the sound of is amazing about 5000 RPM. I have an aftermarket exhaust as well, so the combined effect to acceleration and exhaust sound seems to be exponential. Second, the fit and parts supplied to install the product were less than desired. The baggie holding all parts was torn, so the various screws and nuts were gone; only the bracket remained. The heat shield panel also seems to be missing a part – to the left there are three holes where another panel would normally attach, but that smaller panel is not present. Was that lost in transit as well? Some photos on your web site show that part present. The rubber grommets to install the heat shield to the body were too big, and required me to significantly shave them with a razor. The cooling fan on the engine lid strikes the top tubing of the air intake, and unless the oil filler tube is moved far to the left, hits that too. So, the sound is great, but for nearly $900 in cost, the fit leaves much to be desired.

Very pleased with the look and sound of this easy to install add-on. If you're looking for great sound and a seat of the pants faster feel, this is the one!

997 4S - Power is found right away, breaths way better, installed with evo chip and its not the same car anymore, also installed bypass pipes but had to take them off as they are way too loud for city use, took forty minutes before i got pulled over by a good looking blond haired police officer, got no ticket but got a warning that i sounded very fast.. For racers out there the bypass is great for the track

Just installed my new intake with my friend, and couldn't be happier with the new sound and power!! The engine literally howls and barks over 4500 rpm. I now drive in the upper rev range and keep my windows and targa roof open to enjoy the sound. Fantastic value, will be looking for more upgrades from Fabspeed.
