One of the easiest and most affordable performance modifications you can make to any car is a performance air intake. Not only does it allow your car to breathe more freely, adding horsepower and torque, but it will also make your Porsche 996 sound better, too. The great thing about this kit is that it can be installed by almost anyone with the most basic of hand tools.
Porsche 996 911 K&N Performance Air Intake Kit Replacement Symptoms
The stock air filter on your Porsche 996, or any car for that matter, becomes dirty and clogged with debris over time. When it becomes clogged enough, airflow is restricted, reducing performance and fuel economy.
Depending on your location, the stock air filter on the Porsche 996 should be replaced every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Unlike the stock air filter, though, this K&N filter never needs to replaced. Instead you simply clean and oil it occasionally to keep it functioning like new.
Replacing your stock air filter with this performance K&N intake is an incredibly simple process and should only take about an hour. On difficulty scale of 1-5 this job is only a 1.
