DIY Better sound on a 996 ?

[RoShamBo]

I have been reading how on a 993 you can drill holes in the airbox & on a boxster you can remove the snorkel to get a better sound.......anyone know what can be done like this on a 996 - ie cheap & easy to make the engine sound more meaty ?

If you drain all of the coolant out of your 996 you will get a much more metallic sound from the engine,nearly as good as a 993....
Not sure about drilling airbox on 996 as the fuel system and maf sensor are more sophisticated than on the older porkers..You can buy some of these ram tube things,but i would fit a sports exhaust myself either fabspeed or Porsche own sports exhaust.best leave intake side alone.

LOL, someone will try that in the states and sue your arse/ass off Clubsport

HHmmm you're probably right Dom.....I should have made the point that it will make a great sound for a short while and then never make another sound again..

Be careful across the pond guys and have a happy holiday season
