If you're looking to ditch that old, restrictive rubber intake hose on your Porsche 996, this HPS high-temperature silicone air intake hose kit is where it's at. Seriously, the stock stuff just doesn't cut it after a while, and this upgrade is a game changer. Made from a tough 4-ply reinforced silicone, it can handle the heat—up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit—without breaking a sweat. That’s way better than the OEM rubber that tends to weaken and fail over time.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "What’s in it for me?" Well, this kit doesn’t just look good (though that red color definitely adds some flair under the hood). It’s been tested on the dyno and can give you an extra 5.6 horsepower and 6.3 lb-ft of torque without needing to retune your engine. That’s a nice little boost for both daily driving and spirited weekend runs.
Installation is a breeze, too. You won't need to swap out your stock MAF or air filter housing, which keeps things simple and straightforward. Plus, it comes with HPS's stainless steel embossed hose clamps, built to withstand whatever the road throws at you. No modifications needed, just bolt it on and go. Just a heads up, if you’re rolling in a Tiptronic or X51 model, you’ll need a couple of extra parts for the install.
So, if you're ready to give your Porsche a little kick in the pants, this silicone air intake hose kit is a solid choice. It’s reliable, easy to install, and can really help your engine breathe better.
