duncan Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 From the small print in the 987.2 Technical Appraisal by Porsche see post in “Technical FAQ & How to” below : . . “Air cleaner All new Boxster and Cayman models are fitted with the same air cleaner as their previous models. On the Boxster models only, the size and position of the opening to the Helmholz resonator (H) have been modified at the air cleaner output in the intake area for the intake system. This improves the intake noise, in particular on the "open" Boxster models with minimal intrinsic insulation from the roof construction or when driving with the top down” . . . And their you have it for 987.2 models: Caymans are more powerful than Boxsters, Boxsters are noisier than Caymans, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extanker Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 good grief....when i was young we used to put balloons or baseball cards in the spokes of our bicycles ...thinking it was a cool noise....didn't make the bike any faster......

So Cayman owners, who go through the De-snork process and / or fit a panel filter - to expose a little more of the glorious flat-6 howl; therefore have the best of both Worlds you could argue....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyoz Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I have really noticed how much quieter (mechanically/induction) the DFI gen 2 engine is. I am about to order the EVOMS V-Flow. Purely for the sound as my research indicates any power gains are purely at the top end (rarely used for street driving). It's not cheap but I really need some induction sound back...to me it's THE sound of Porsche. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windymiller Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) When I switched to a BMC filter and desnorked my 987.2 S in March this year I noticed an appreciable difference in induction noise - not so much a ‘roar’ but a distinct change for the better. best way I can describe it is imagine a deep and fast inhale with a hoarse throat.... 🤨😄 might be a cheaper ‘try before you buy’ (the V-flow) option if you’re just after some more sound. 🤔🤷♂️ no idea if any power gains, that wasn’t my intention, just wanted more aural satisfaction. Certainly doesn’t feel any slower mind. 🤪 Edited December 30, 2020 by Windymiller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
