Re: Can somebody explain what X51 is ? I am clueless....
This is straight from the Porsche web site, which referrs to the X51 package as the Carrera Power Kit, which costs $16,900.
Raises power output to 381 bhp. Includes modified cylinder heads, exhaust manifolds, ECU, additional radiator (only for manual transmission), carbon fiber air-cleaner housing, aluminium-intake system and sports exhaust system with pair of dual-tube tailpipes in individual design in chrome-plated stainless steel. Note: also in conjunction with Tiptronic S.

Re: Can somebody explain what X51 is ? I am clueless....
Just exploring the beauty and cool factor of the carbon fibre housing 
....wondering if adding a BMC filter could actually improve airflow any further. 
I also notice that there is a 'drain-hole' on each end behind the box to drain out any water that might have leaked in during a heavy down pour or car wash.
I have always been concern about this possibility....now my doubts are cleared.

Re: Can somebody explain what X51 is ? I am clueless....
I did not managed to open up the box to have a look but from the outset, the air filter seems appears to consist of 2 separate pieces of rectangular shaped paper type....I believe the regular has an 'L' Shaped. I have not sourced for the BMC option yet. 
However the CF box although huge is in fact really light. The internal reserved storage volume of filtered air before the throttle body intake is really 'volumous' too.
This could perhaps explain the highly responsive initial power surge whenever one takes a quick but short stab (without flooring) at the throttle even at 2nd gear from a standstill.
