Also note that only one of the side intakes is functional. The other is a blank.

I think it is used for the transmission oil cooler on the tiptronic models. Otherwise, it is just a styling highlight to differentiate the 2.7 from the "S".

I agree. The intake on the cars left hand side isnn't blank. It is covered with a piece of plastic that lets air in round the side, but prevents water and dirt infgess into the engine.The vent on the right hand side is for engine bay cooling. There is a procedure on Renntech for removal of the dirt cover for the left hand side vent, but I imagine Porsche put it there for a reason, so on your own head be it.
I have sat in the passenger seat of my 987 and didn't notice a better engine sound. It sounds awsome from both seats!!
