This started in 2000. A raised lip was added to the left intake vent. It was to keep sheet rain water from being sucked into the engine, as the raised lip shed the flow.

Can anyone tell me why the two side air vents on Boxster S's (just behind the door) look different?

Left is for engine intake and right is for engine compartment vent fan exhaust ...

Now I'm starting to think that I should return that snorkel to my '00 base 986. The thought of rain saturating the filter element doesn't seem like the right thing to do. It was mentioned that this device was purely for sound abatement bet now I'm wondering.

The left-right asymmetry has always made me wonder. Wouldn't it have been easy to make the right one look the same as the left even if it's not functionally required?
