Anyone have a Fabspeed Cold Air Intake System?

I wanted to know if anyone has installed the Fabspeed Cold Air Intake System on their 997. Big difference in sound and performance? Considering it on my 997 S, but wanted to hear from the forum first.

I use a B&M air filters and those are great, also change the engine sound.

I have the Fabspeed CAI and BMC Filter and it changed my car very nicely. The CAI sounds AWESOME when you take off slowly it sounds like I have PSE and WOT it hums nicely. That with the BMC is a must combo for the money highly recommend it

Update I saw on Rennlist that Alex from Fabspeed is working and soon to release a new intake for the 997.1. He said it will be Carbon Fiber and block off the heat more. I sent him a PM so hope to get details. Maybe he'll chime in here also

Fabspeed intake, BMC Filter, Fabspeed tips and Fabspeed mufflers

Great Sound and great look. Worth the price.

I heard about that and i'm really hoping it goes through cause the 997.2 version is absolutely beautiful.

I have it install on my 997.2.... The sound is amazing, especially above 4000 RPM's. I did have a problem with the "Check Engine" light popping up, but after changing out the MAF there seems to be no problem.

Thanks bro! I think it would sound killer with the 2 together... I see that you still have the C4S, what happened to the CLK BS?

Always heard K&N was one of the best. Saw one the other day cheap on ebay. Would have bought if had not traded my 997s for Turbo recently.
