    Tom,
    I had these on my 914-6 w/webers way back, are you selling it or anyone else selling these.
    Are replacement filters still available?
    Any input appreciated.
    Jim

    I agree the sound is nice and it does clean up the engine compartment but it is hard to beat the factory setup for efficiency, effectiveness and maintenance.

    The PMO K&N Filter Kit fits - here with slight mods on my 2,8L:

    Christian,
    That's a clean looking setup you have.
    I'll check on the PMO K & N again.

    Do you have the later plastic stacs, or the earlier magnesium stacks? The plastic stacks are taller, to the point where none of the rain hats shown will fit. The right side will foul the engine lid grille. About the only alternative for plastic stacks are the ITG foam filters, which are almost completely useless on a street driven car.
