Great bit Jay! Had me literally chuckling out loud.

Love the postbox 🇬🇧👍🙂

Thanks for sharing your journey, starting to look professional as a mechanic :)

The extra tube on the Tiptronic & X51 engined cars intake hose isn't a breather, its a vacuum line that needs to be connected to the intake (The Porsche Training Notes for the engine calls it a sucking Jet Pump). Samco Sport make the silicone intake hose with the off take to connect to the extra tube. Its the correct way of doing it and makes for a much cleaner looking installation.

Jay. I have installed the F6 intake system in my 996.1. I noticed a difference in response, I am supper happy with the F6 product I do not have an exhaust system installed

Great mod for the “every person” (like me…). Your old air filter didn’t look that bad…they can get much worse and still be serviceable. Thanks for making all of it look so easy, and editing out three hours of cursing…🙂 Love your “bumble bee” Omega Aqua Terra Milgaus. Car people are also watch people!

wow i'm actually shocked!! i didn't think it would make that much of a difference but i was clearly wrong!! GOOD JOB!! and great video...going to purchase right now...

Sarcasm as always Jay! I love it 👌

The resonator is actually in the airbox. My 996 came with this mod and I ended up putting the factory intake hose back on. The silicon hose doesn’t make any power, this is a noise mod. The factory resonator tames the intake howl at 5k rpm, it’s quite loud without it which I’m a little surprised wasn’t discovered in the video.

Great job Jay , easier to fit the silicone pipe if you had left it in a bucket of hot water to soften it a bit 🏎

That made more difference than I thought. Sounds great!

I love videos like this. Nice work, Jay! PS - no Fd up so far from what I’ve seen in your series. Keep it up!

I had the large silicone pipe on mine, but It was too boomy and drony around 2.5to 3k when coupled with top gear silencers. Fun to start with but became annoying. It really depends on your exact silencer config. Obviously works with yours.

It sounds nice ! Power I did not think you would get much. But in the end it's all for the pleasure of our ears !! I'll probably add it to my 996..

I did this same kit and the IPD plenum with. k&N filter. The sounds is amazing. The car sound so much throatier and runs so nice now. Power down low on a tip is so welcomed.

Your intro made me laugh out loud on the train!!

As always, most enjoyable. I love my 996.2 as well.

nicely done Jay! your 996 looks very nice!

Now we’re talking! Noted improvement there sir.

Do you know how many times I've seen people nearly crash at that last stop sign you took? Car sounds great with the exhaust and everything.

Jay, well done as always. Very informative. Btw, A porche owner might consider gloves so not to ruin the you tube hands. BTW, just got my allocation for a Targa GTS. I purchased my 996 Targa in 2002 and now 20 years later I will have a new 2022.. Surreal. Keep up the good work!.

Jay, very entertaining video. Your opening made me burst out laughing - just what I needed after a long week of work. Keep ‘‘em coming.

Well done, Jay! (that's what she said!)😆😆

Well done, Jay !

Great video. The new filter and elbow pipe has given a nice increase in sound! James from autoamateur directed me to your channel. Subscribed👍

Good video - have thought about doing this on my 997, but haven’t so far. Love that you’re adding a little comedy into the mix - keep ‘er lit!

Nice and refined power sound. Love it!

Great 👍🏽 vid Jay! Enjoying this journey with you fixing bits and bobs on your Niner and Boxtser.

Great video, my 997 had the fab-air cold air intake, sounded fantastic, I do miss that with the 991.

And that filter looks to be washable/oilable too.

Like the garage in background for nice contrast on the car colors. Guards red? I am replacing the taillights with a newer look on the guards red 996 and next maybe the front lights but my mechanic says only original stock fits front well. Our window tint is the same but I'm where the sun shines all the time in AZ.

Nice intro. Did you use a 360 cam to go through the car windows? I'm trying to work out how you did it, looks really cool. Very new to your channel, but I like your style. I'm from Eastbourne, love The New Forest, used to go camping there! Just bought a £1500 986, hope to get it MOT'd soon. I've owned a 986 before as well as a 996 Cabriolet, miss that loads. Cheers for the content.

hi Jay, Did you loose the two rubber grommets that the air box fits into on the cross rail to stop it rattling , dont ask how i know.

Excellent 👍

My 996.1 came with a similar setup (as well as the Fister mod…go me!). Therefore I do not have any point of comparison, but I do know that the car simply howls above 5000 rpm.

It sounds amazing! Love the work you do, makes me believe I can do it too. What exhaust do you use? And do you have aftermarket headers as well? Love your videos!

Wow..... What do I think?? I think its F---king cold where you live :)

Did you retain the small anti vibration rubber o rings on the bottom of air box ?

Great video

Enjoyed the vid. One tip going forward, for inclusivity you may want to revise old habits (ref 3.42s). Not being judgey, just trying to help.

Very nice Jay sounds like a rally car and that for $225 !! Where can you purchase it can you fix it on any 996 with Dansk exhaust also get a better sound you think?

The helmholtz resonator doesn’t impact power at all. The helmholtz resonator is a chamber and a kneck. A bit like a bottle. When air blows over the kneck and into the chamber it creates air pressure. That air pressure comes back out and cancels out the frequency coming back through your main intake. The Germans made this to meet noise emissions. It does nothing for power. The word cold air intake is misleading. You can create the same effect by just placing a blanking plug in the helmholtz resonator and use your existing intake pipe. You don’t need a whole kit. It worth noting on a 996 you can unscrew the whole Helmholtz resonator inside the airbox which increases the surface area of the filter. Some say this can increase power as you have more air. You cannot remove this on a 997 as it’s moulded in the airbox. I’ve made Helmholtz resonators for exhausts to change the sound in the same way.

Number 6 rather than letter 6 huh? :) Good stuff Jay. Do they have something similar for the 986?

Did it improve the performance? I have read on a couple of UK based owner sites, it can actually decrease power and Torque a little. Your Tiptronic box, on kickdown do you have to put your put right down for it to take effect? My C4S has the same Mercedes gearbox.

6:27 Is it a common trait amongst ham-handed amateur mechanics that they whisper a play-by-play while they work? Because I do the same.

Did u feel any power increase? Good video Jay been looking for some mods on my 996.2 cab

Since installing this have you had any issues with the airflow sensor? Or have you received any lights going off with this mod?

Jay - if you like a slightly more aggressive OEM Plus sound, this one is a FREE and super easy mod for that green 986: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sMl5rMiBr5i0goE.html
