997 S Tiptronic Breather Line

[lakerholic]

Loren, I'm hoping you can help me out here.

Is there any determent to moving the tiptronic breather line on a 997 to where such line connects on a 996? Specifically, I'm installing an EVOMS Cold Air Intake that was made for a 6-speed car (i.e., it doesn't have a place for the breather line) and was thinking about modifying the tube that comes off the intake manifold to match the directions of the K&N Cold Air Intake with respect to tiptronic breather line.

That is, for the K&N there is a 90 vent tube that connects the breather line to the intake as it comes off the manifold (in the same spot the breather line used to be located on all 996 tiptronic cars). See attached image.

I have sourced the parts and can make it work, but I don't want to screw anything up here, but doing this. I'm figuring it should work the same since I'm changing the intake out completely (versus trying to move the breather line on a stock airbox (which would make no sense, I know).

Sorry for the rambling, I hope this makes sense.

Thanks in advance,

-Eddie

What do you hope to gain from the EVOMS Cold Air Intake?

Nothing more than a change in sound. :)

Any thoughts on my question?

You won't really know until you try it.

Make sure the seal is tight or you will throw a CEL.

I am not a fan of the cold air intakes - no HP, and only a little sound - mostly problems and CELs.

IMHO you are better off with a BMC air filter (the same one Porsche uses on their race cars) if you want a "better sound".

Thank you. I know, I know... but I've got the mod bug... I also picked up some Fabspeed Maxflo exhausts to add. :D
