There is no "break in" period for Porsches in the RoW (Rest of the World). It may have to do more with the American Legal system/lawyers, and getting used to the car. Porsche revs the sh*t out of the engines in the factory anyway on the dyno for at least 30 minutes -which is considered the crucial break in period.

One dyno run does not prove a significant difference. The 13 HP is probably within the dyno measurements limit of error. I find it hard to believe that Porsche spends millions of dollars designing/maximizing a car, and would fail to boost HP by 13 just by removing a splash guard. Do you really believe some backyard car enthusiast in 30 minutes found something that 100s of Porsche engineers somehow overlooked/ or did not consider? Show me the averages after 10 dyno runs with and without the deflector plate - I'm willing to bet there is no significant HP difference.

All that extra weight will slow down your car, decrease the handling, increase braking distance, and diminish the valuable Porsche "feel". Why do you want to do this? Porsche engineers spent A LOT of time perfecting the car. Enjoy it as it is.

Porsche states that the plate over the air intake does NOT restrict airflow, and removing it does not provide HP gain.
