Has anyone got a K&N induction kit on their 996 (naturally aspirated 3.4)
Spec suggests an increase of 23bhp (http://www.knfilters.com/search/product ... od=57-7000),

is this ;

1. believable
2. worth £300

Seems like a good way to bolt on some power. The car already has eurocup
headers and silencers but IMHO seems to have made no noticable difference
but to engine note. I am a little worried that the induction kit may result in a
similar way, all mouth and no trousers.

Look forward to some advice.

Hi :)

Not got a 996 but have used K&Ns on all my cars for years...

I like K&N ...but the accepted opinion generally is that YES they will filter better and MAYBE add a COUPLE of horsepower and usually give a much better sound...

But thats it, 23 hp... I seriously doubt that....and £300 seems a little over the top....but your choice if it looks good and improves the sound then fine....then buy it, but if you are thinking 23 hp dont buy it :)

All the best Brett :)
