Are you a nonbeliever of aftermarket air intakes and think that what Porsche created for the 996 Turbo is truly the best?  Well, Agency Power combined with Vivid Racing has developed the ultimate air intake system for the new age Porsche 996 Turbo owner.  We introduce the Agency Power Dual Flow Carbon Air Intake Kit for the Porsche 996TT.  The intake will fit on the standard 996TT and X50 rear decklids, others may require modifications.

This air intake uses the factory OEM back half of the intake box which includes the fault free MAF tube.  What we have done is beefed up the front cover with a full carbon fiber unit which is designed to intake more air volume which is then traversed over the flat panel air filter.  The biggest improvement of this box is the dual snorkel.  We have built a carbon fiber intake scoop which mounts on the bottom of the left side of the engine deck lid.  This scoop takes the airflow from the vented decklid and pushes it through the snorkel piece and down into the stock air box.  The purpose of this design is to increase air volume to the factory filter. 

In high speed or racing conditions, the intake needs to be able to get as much air as possible to keep these turbos working efficient.  This dual snorkel unit combined with our updated OEM box cover and K&N flat panel filter does wonders for your overall vehicle performance.  These made in the USA (Arizona) carbon fiber parts are a work of art.  They are clear coated and have a great finish.  Included with the intake is the aluminum Agency Power badge and foam strips for a precise air tight seal from the snorkel to the box.  If you already have a K&N filter, BMC filter, or other OEM replacement, you can opt to buy the intake without the filter for a reduced price.

We expect this intake to be available for sale starting October 1, 2008.  For more information, please contact us. 

Agency Power currently has 2 Cold Air Intakes Available for Sale.  Check them out here.

For those that have the current Carbon Fiber complete air intake kit seen here, we will be working on testing this dual snorkel with that airbox.  For those of you that have the aluminum airbox seen here, we will be releasing the 2nd snorkel for sale shortly as pictured here.

Agency Power has just released their all new carbon fiber cold air intake kit for the Porsche 996 Turbo.  Based off their other aluminum box, this carbon fiber unit adds a sense of style and quality to the engine bay of the Porsche.  The intake utilizes the factory air snorkel to guide air in and across a colored silicone tube to the left box which houses a K&N air filter for maximum performance.  As tested on a Mustang AWD Dyno, the cold air intake kit produced 32 wheel horsepower and 22 ft/lbs of torque in the mid RPMs.  Check out all the info and pictures of the Agency Power Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake Kit Here.

I received the Agency Power air intake system for the 996tt. Just wanted to post my review about it. First off, the directions are VERY straight forward. There were literally 2 or 3 screws to remove from the OEM box, and MAF sensor. The tricky thing I noticed was actually getting the stock air box out of the car, you kind of have to turn it counter clock wise, and wiggle it out slowly…. (Installation Instructions are here)

The install on the new intake was very straight forward.. I’m not a very “mechanically inclined” person, so I thought I was going to have issues, but I had NONE. You have to be SUPER careful when removing the MAF sensor, as it sits right under one of the intake tubes and there’s not much room under there. Lucky for me I have long thin fingers lol. I first installed the tube that goes into the air filter, and used the supplied clamps to get it nice and snug. You then have to kind of slide the tube into the manifold thing (forgot what it’s called) and wiggle it in there. I think it would have been easier if I would have disconnected the intake tube that goes from the intercooler into the manifold, but I was too lazy.

The next step was installing the silicone hose to the 2nd box, and tightening that down with the supplied fasteners. Once all that was done, I CAREFULLY put back the MAF into the intake system and I was good to go. All in all, it took about 40 minutes to install the system.

I wasn’t expecting to feel a difference right away, but I instantly HEARD a difference when starting the car. The supplied K&N filter definitely takes in more air than the stock filter, and that is obvious from the sound. I let the car idle for about 10 minutes, and then went off.
 
A short burst of the throttle, and i noticed that the throttle response is much better. The car didn’t feel more powerful in 1st and 2nd, but it felt that it was more responsive. After about 100 miles of city driving, I decided to take the car on the highway and see if i would notice a difference there… I DEFINATELY noticed a difference when redlining the higher gears. With the OEM box, it felt as if the car would kind of die out at 6000 rpm, but with the new system, it feels that the car is getting more COOL air and therefore pulls harder. My gas mileage is SLIGHTLY better than with the OEM box… With the OEM box, I got 196 miles in city driving. With the Agency Power intake I got 206, and I probably drove the car a little bit harder with the Agency Power system too. All in all I’m happy with the intake. The car sounds better during acceleration, and throttle response is definitely dramatically improved. As far as horsepower numbers, I’m still waiting to get the car dyno’d, as I have a slipping clutch at the moment, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a noticeable increase in torque.

After 500 miles of driving, I decided just for curiosity to open up the intake box to see how the filter was looking, and it still looked brand new. No black spots anywhere. Next on the list are the Agency Power intake tubes in yellow to match the cold air intake.
