RSR, +1, Cat, Motorsound Airbox Info

[Greg Park]

All,
Been reading alot about the sound of RSR's on 993's, the +1 option and Motorsound Airbox.

Can someone give me an overview of the different option s for a 993 approximate costs and where to get it done?

Unless you want really loud, you want the following:

1. RSRs (£600 ish from Gert at Carnewal. You can't get them anywhere else in Eurpoe as far as I know, at least new). Gives you nice low growl, like 993 always should have been IMHO.
2. Motorsound air intake cover, £60 ish new (or drill holes in your own to give you the same effect). All this gives you is a bit of a howl in the cabin when you are accelerating - quite nice. May lose little bit of BHP though as air may be warmer as it's sucked into engine - do a search on this on this forum or rennlist. I don't notice an power loss if it does indeed happen.
3. 100 cell cats (I think around £2K) - no idea what these add to the sound but have heard it's good!

Hope this helps []

Oh and as to where to get it done, well any good indie should be able to do this for you. I did my RSRs myself. Dremmel-type tool was a Godsend for cutting rusty clamp bolts. You can change intake cover yourself in 30 secs, or longer if you need to clean cover/box out.

Hi....

Not sure if you have the turbo spoiler or not but a good modification I made to my 993 was the Turbo Cold Air Intake, clips onto airbox, takes the air from the grill, nice and cold.

Cheers
