Which reasonable priced air intake?

[ekam]

Considering most people actually destroy their stock airbox to install any type of aftermarket intake... I highly doubt anyone would have this for sale unless they're in multiple small pieces... lol.

If you were to install a new 987 airbox, piece parting it will run $1,000+. I'd rather research Ebay, Craig's List and all the Porsche salvage yards for wrecked 987's. I'm sure that 987 airboxes aren't highly sought after parts so they should be plentiful. Just make sure you get all the parts!, snorkel to the throttle body.

As for the question "Will it fit in a 986?". I think the 550 answers that question.

P.S. Fly, I have a 986 airbox.

I found one on Ebay, cross my fingers that it's all there and in good shape. $250 shipped.

I would like to add some information to this discussion. I used the stock paper filter for 40K miles. then went to the EVO cone filter for 46K miles. My motor recently died. This WAS NOT due to the air filter. However, during the tear down, the shop noted significant cylinder wall scoring. I always felt that that stupid cone filter was allowing more air and therefore more dirt in. I would suggest using a high quality OEM filter and box. The car is too expensive to fix.

987 v 986 Air box

Here it is. Had to modify the muffler area of it. This is right behind the tube where the MAF connects.
