04.07.10 - Intake Install

 

Because I was so happy with the bolt-ons I had on the C4S, I wanted to try to replicate them on the GT3 in a similar understated manner.  I had a EVOMS intake on the C4S and I liked it for the quickened throttle response and the sound. To be clear, its not necessarily more power I'm looking for; there is plenty of that, I'm looking for mostly more sound, and a little less weight with most of these kinds of modifications.

 Researching my options though I quickly  learned there were not many options at all for the 996 GT3.

+ FabSpeed
+ Gruppe M
+ 'Cup' intake

All had their characteristics I didn't care for, either being the look, install, or cost.  I was turned on to this option by PJS996GT3. (link)

K&N makes an intake for the 997.1 3.6L GT3 RS

Clean, simple, and surprisingly, not that expensive. ~$300 and free shipping to boot.  For comparison, the EVOMS is ~$600

Some people poo-poo intakes, and that's OK; I'm not here to convince them otherwise, but for me, it improves my driving experience. :>)
