			Hmm for the 996 the mass airflow sensor section diameter is probably common for cost savings ; parts interchangeability etc.  I did not know that these sections were shared.  The reduction in  diameter here would bump up the velocity with minimal losses.....so very little hurt for major parts sharing cost savings......just a guess. 
 
When you get to the throttle body 68mm with a butterfly valve stuck in there is a  de tune vs. a 74mm.  as long intake  velocity does not fall off below optimal....just a guess 
 
I looked into rapid proto typing an intake piece I am making....low volume costs 
are huge...The IPD price is a bit easier to swallow after that but.... 
 
I have all this rolling around in my head too.  Let me know how you make out!
