Here is a recent post from a happy customer documenting his install of the Agency Power Porsche Cayenne Intake Kit:

“It’s that time again – UPGRADES!!! and for now I can say I am the only one in the world with Red Agency Power Intakes for a Cayenne !

Anywho, this started when I first saw Vivids post here: Stole the Wifes Cayenne, Going Under the Knife

I was not in the market for intakes as I already had EVOms. After seeing the post I called vivid and asked if they could make a set in red. Answer was ” 3 days”. WOOT – my EVOMS went up for sale and I ordered the APs.

Why? Appearance and fit and finish is important to me as my hood is up frequently ( shows, interested peps in the street, etc). The EVOms have an aggressive ” alien pod” look which is cool, but def not a “Race-Bred Euro” appearance. I was also planning on doing some custom CF work where the EVOms would be in the way. The EVOMS was my intro to intakes and I still like them, but next to the fit and finish of the APs, sorry EVO

AP’s showed up yesterday, and being a giant kid I decided to install them at 10:30 P.M. last night in freezing conditions. Post install I took it for a short run and the sound and performance was what I expected – MUCH BETTER than the stock (choke) boxes but similar to the EVOms. Extra torque pull and under hood grunt is very good with the APs. Unfortunately, due to the #&@*%$$# snow, I can’t eval further. When the roads clear I will go for a few spirited drives and report back.

INSTALL & COMPARISON NOTES:

Install was a little easier then the EVOms as the heat shields aren’t as bulky. Also, the shields have welded guide pegs as apposed to the nuts and bolt setup on the EVOms. Pegs were a nice touch as I remember having to get my own bolts as my EVOms kit never came with them. Install time was less than 1 hour and def one of my easier mods. Vivid added a few AP stickers which I slapped on the shields (to me looks sweet). They did not melt after 2 hours of sitting in snow traffic today so I guess I am safe there .

Filters with the EVOms kit are Evo branded and APs kit has K&Ns with red anodized caps. Again, they probably both do the same job, but to me the K&Ns had the extra appearance edge. With the EVOms you can’t see the filters anyway so no biggie. AP you can see them, so its a bonus.

Anyway – on to this pics! Everything that’s in the box (minus the AP stickers)

After the stock airbox is removed (in my case this was done a long time ago), this is the hole you will need to fill with lovely AP intake goodness.

Here are the 2 lower grommets where the original stock boxes sat. The AP heat shield plugs right in to the stock grommets.

These are the AP heat shield tabs that are inserted into the blue grommets.

You do not want to try installing everything pre-assembled (it wont fit) so heat shield goes in first.

Driver side now in – LEAVE ALL CLAMPS LOOSE until you bolt the heat shield to the intake and the intake to the chassis (see next pic)

That tab now makes sense, it uses the same bolt from the original stock airbox and bolts directly to the chassis.

The driver side has some interference from the washer fluid heater line (the black tube over the top of the red intake). You will need to push the line aside to get the intake in.

POOF! Done!

And Now the Money Shot!

This is an easy upgrade that has some dam good performance & looks yield. If I were to change anything with the intakes it would be to include Black Hex Bolts for the connection between the heat shield and the intakes ( I will do that myself for now). Other than that, these things are spot on and look like something you would see attached to any mid-engine Italian sled.
