Cold Air Intake for V6?

[kinnan12]

I have looked online and cant seem to find good information on this topic. Does anybody know of a good Cold Air Intake for my 2005 Cayenne V6? I am looking to upgrade exhaust and put a chip in but want to know if I am considering all my options. Anybody with personal experience or opinion??? Thanks!

I think a cold air intake on a normally aspirated car is a waste of money. Regardless of what the maker may claim any horsepower increase will be quite small.

None of these have ever been shown to make more than 2-5 HP in testing and some even cause loss of mid-range torque.

A turbo engine is a different story.

Thanks for the advice...would you suggest a Cat Bypass and Chip then or do you feel they would fall into the same category as the cold air intake?

Those will make a difference on turbo car but not a normally aspirated engine.

You will not get much more HP (less than 20) out of a normally aspirated modern Porsche engine.

What are you trying to accomplish?

Well, I got a great deal on an 05 Cayenne but its a V6. I knew the hp would be lacking when I bought it but I couldnt pass it up. I am just looking for the best way to increase horsepower with out having to sell it and go get the V8. Anything you would recommend? I have been an Audi guy for years but just made the switch this week...still learning. Thanks for the help!
