Don't get the idea that removing the airbox and refitting the larger(better) 987 airbox is easy.
The stock airbox is difficult to remove because of the confined space. In theory you need to drop the engine a few inches, unbolt and move the Bank 2 inlet manifold. Even tht may not give sufficient clearance to remove it. That is why you'll fin Threads of despair describing how to cut up and break up the stock 986 airbox to remove it.
And you think that fitting the larger 987 airbox will be easier?
