New fabspeed air intake, looks killer !

Doug, it's the real deal, I talked to Joe, it cranks out 28 additional HP, you can take that to the bank. Anxiously await IA's dyno #'s.
FWIW the porshe motorsports GT2 intake looks almost identical. I'll post a shot later.

This is Joe @ Fabspeed Motorsports.
I developed this system on my 997TT and chassis dynoed everything. Fabspeed Motorsports Dyno develops and verifies performance parts. Fabspeed uses several chassis dynos in the Philadelphia area.
The filters we chose made more power than BMC F1 996GT3 CUP filters that someone photoshopped in FYI.
The Fabspeed Motorsports CUP 997TT Maxflo air-intake was thouroughly DYNO tested and verified. We did everything back to back same day (modified versus stock intake) at a world famous SCCA race shop in the Philadelphia area.
My 997TT picked up significant power and sports car sound throughout the powerband. For the last several months I have been undergoing durability testing. No CEL issues and just more power and sports car sound and a very COOL looking IMSA 935 style engine compartment.
The system is Patent Pending!
Fabspeed did not start this post an observant viewer did. I will post data on Monday and Tuesday. I have not had time to watch the web as at Fabspeed we have had too many heavy cars roll in and have been very busy engineering, developing, building and manufacturing new systems.
Next week we will take a Bentley Continental GT to the dyno stock and then run it again with our new 76.5mm 3.0" exhaust.
have a great weekend.

nice ! the look and the performance !
for the skeptical about heatsoak, i'm pretty sure there is not many risk since the filters are sitting right behind the two air inlets , or maybe making a custom box around these could be good although i prefer the present look.
joe@fabspeed , what was the power loss with the bmc's? any pic of this setup? 'im pretty sure a wide range of filter can mount your systems which is pretty cool.

It is a also very cool looking setup.

simple question what keeps the filters isulated from the heat build-up? I can see how it would make hp from quick boosts from less restriction on a dyno with the engine compartment up to cool air. but that thing would hear soak in 80 degree temps and stop and go. not a practical design.

Just rivet 3 industrial hypercooling fans to the outside of the rear lid and it should be fine

exactly what kind of patent can be applied for piping and BMCs? Nothing new about this. 9ff tested theirs 8 months ago and offered the system purely for "look and aggressive sound" - but found NO power increase.
...but they didnt have "patentable" secret technology either...
