The Fabspeed Carbon Fiber Competition Air Intake System is a high-flow performance upgrade designed for the Porsche 911 (996) Carrera (2000–2004) that significantly improves cold air induction into the engine while adding an exotic induction tone. Constructed from genuine carbon fiber using CAD-optimized airflow paths, this intake replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a direct-bolt-on system that enhances throttle response and helps unlock up to ~+24 WHP and ~+19 lb-ft torque as tested on Fabspeed dynos. By minimizing intake restrictions and letting your flat-six breathe more efficiently, it delivers a more engaging driving feel and sound throughout the rev range for both street and performance applications.
Fitment Notes
Engineered for Porsche 911 Carrera (996; 2000–2004) with stock intake setup.
Not compatible with 1999 model year due to air pump/engine bay interference.
Works as a direct replacement for the OEM airbox — no cutting or fabrication required.
Fits both Tiptronic and manual transmission cars; may require additional breather hose and filter for certain variants (e.g., X51 or Tiptronic setups).
Ideal for street, canyon driving, and enthusiast builds — strong match with headers and ECU tuning.
Included
One (1) Carbon Fiber Competition Intake assembly (airbox and ducts).
Dual dry-style performance air filters (washable/reusable).
