Porsche 928: Air Intake Reviews
While the factory air intake system in your Porsche 928 is good, installing an aftermarket air intake system is a terrific way to improve the car's overall performance. Continue reading to learn the best ones on the market.
This article applies to the Porsche 928 (1978-1995).
Air intakes for the Porsche 928 change the intake plumbing by moving the air filter outside the engine compartment. This allows cooler air to move more easily and make its way into the engine's combustion chamber, which leads to more power. At just a few hundred bucks for an entire system, it's a fairly inexpensive upgrade for your car. Here are three systems worth considering.

Kuhn’s Dual Snout Air Intake System places air filtration out in front of the radiator. The air snouts are made using hand-laid aviation-grade fiberglass, which is secured with a strong epoxy resin. The air filters are K&N, and can be easily cleaned as well as re-oiled to extend the life of their use. The bracket design is set up to allow for strategic placement of air snouts into chassis. Additional brackets triangulate parts for secure installation.
Porsche 928 drivers who have installed the system note the quality of the system’s materials as fantastic, and have been thoroughly pleased with the results of the system installation. Specifically, they note an increase in their car’s engine power. Recommended for those who like the efficiency of the stock intake, but want more noise and power.
