Thanks, Ohana for the write up. You are very correct about the delicate plastic tabs. Mine are completely broken on the engine cooling (passenger) side, and 2/3 broken on the intake (driver's) side. Really the grills are just held on by the upper screw. Makes me wonder why they didn't just use additional screws and do away with the flimsy plastic tabs that are built to break. And they cost $60 each to special order from Suncoast. I will also add there is an inner screen (to keep cig give butts and the like out of the intake) on the 986.2. This is easily removed with one screw.

Now, on the result of desnorkling - I have to say I was hoping for more. I'd say it is not noticeable on start up, idle and lower revs. Above 4K, I think there is a small, but noticeable deeper note.
