Ghetto fix for the issue at hand. I finally got a hold of a 996 air box. Parts Heaven was nice enough to give me a great deal on one. Here is a photo of the before.

Nothing good can come of this. Yes that is a dremel in the back round.

This is what it looked like after I did what I had to do.

I cleaned it up with a file and the dremel and here are the the two side by side. Boxster on the left with the MAF still in it and the 996 on the right.

I mated this up to the stock intake pipe. I do not have a photo of this in the car but it looks stock. You can match this up to a cold/hot air intake or the stock box with some silicone reducers. TTP can kiss my butt. LOL They do make a nice intake with the carbon fiber and all that but 1500... Come on. I am going to drive it tomorrow and see if there is a difference. I know not the prettiest job but cheaper than ttp and cheaper than getting a cayman mass air housing.
