RaggDoll Motorsports Cold Air Intake System – Porsche 718 Cayman & Boxster (Base, T, S, GTS)

Plug-and-Play | Real Dyno Gains | Engineered for 2.0L & 2.5L Turbo

Breathe Easy—Your 718 Just Got Set Free

If you’ve ever pushed your 718 Cayman or Boxster hard and felt like something was holding it back… you weren’t wrong. Porsche gave us a beautifully balanced chassis and a potent turbo motor, but the factory airbox? That’s another story.

Under that sleek engine cover hides a major restriction: a single 24mm air feed slit—smaller than most people realize. Porsche built a large, functional fresh air duct into the quarter panel shroud… then choked it with a bottleneck that limits airflow at precisely the moment your turbo needs it most. The result? Vacuum conditions inside the stock airbox at high boost, heat soak, and ultimately—lost horsepower.

That’s where the RaggDoll Motorsports Cold Air Intake System comes in.

Designed, tested, and track-proven on our own record-setting Porsche 718s, this system doesn’t just replace the air filter—it re-engineers the entire flow path.

Key Features & Benefits:

• 33% More Intake Volume Through OEM Shroud Opening

  We seal directly to the stock quarter-panel duct and open it to its full potential—no more 24mm slit. With our larger, fully sealed airbox inlet, you finally get the volume Porsche teased us with but never used.

• Cooler, Denser Air: True Cold Air Feed

  Our system doesn’t just draw from the engine bay like some intakes—it completely seals to the OEM duct, preventing hot engine bay air from contaminating the intake charge. This results in a colder, denser air feed at all RPM and boost levels.

• OEM-Like Fit with Race-Level Performance

• High-temp composite construction, billet-aluminum hardware, Iridium-brand fittings, and reinforced sealing flanges mean this intake looks and fits like it came from Weissach—but performs like it came from RaggDoll.

• Dyno-Proven Gains, Real-World Thrills

  Whether you’re tuned or stock, 2.0L or 2.5L, Base, T, S, or GTS, you’ll feel the difference immediately. No more airflow stall at high RPM. No more lag. Just immediate boost, better throttle response, and a cleaner, snappier intake sound.

• Built for the RaggDoll High-Flow Inlet

  This system is fully compatible with our RaggDoll High Flow Turbo Inlet, which eliminates the final restriction from the factory setup. Combined, the intake and inlet unlock maximum compressor efficiency.

What Makes the RaggDoll Intake Different?

Engineered from Experience—Not Hype

You’ve seen it online. Intake systems that “look fast” but aren’t sealed. Or kits that claim power but pull hot air from inside the engine bay. That’s not us.

This system was born out of real frustration, real-world tuning, and actual airflow testing on Farrah—my personal 718 Cayman that has become the test bed for every product I release.

We didn’t just “make an intake.” We reimagined the entire airflow path based on Porsche’s own design language—but unlocked its full potential.

Stock Box Secrets: What Porsche Hid From Us

The biggest restriction in the 718 intake system isn’t the air filter.

It isn’t the pipe.

It’s the baffled air slit feeding the box—a 24mm cutout in an otherwise massive cold air duct that Porsche engineers built but never fully utilized.

Once you install this intake system and upgrade that entry point, your turbo isn’t starved anymore. You eliminate vacuum, improve pressure recovery, and give your turbo something it’s been begging for: a full lungful of clean, cold air.

Built in the USA | Designed by Drivers, for Drivers

This isn’t a copycat kit.

This is built in-house, in Las Vegas, by a team that lives and breathes 718 performance. I’ve poured years into refining this system, and if you’ve followed me online, you know I don’t sell parts just to move units—I sell them because they work.

And let’s be real: Porsche gave us a great chassis. But they didn’t give us a proper intake system.

Now you’ve got one.

FAQ – Everything You Need to Know

Will this work with my stock tune?

Yes—no tuning required. You’ll gain power even on a bone-stock ECU.

What about emissions or CELs?

No codes. No sensors moved. Everything plugs right in.

How hard is the install?

If you can change a filter, you can do this. Expect about 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Is it loud?

You’ll hear a sharper intake rush under throttle, but no drone or annoying resonance. Just more personality when you want it.

How is this different from other “cold air” intakes?

Simple: It’s sealed. It pulls from the factory duct. And it eliminates Porsche’s biggest design choke point. Others may change the pipe or swap the filter—but we fixed the real problem.
