I encourage people to think out loud  The 3.4 plenum is taller, but the actual design is not much different (I have about 30 intakes from 2.5-3.6)

I was thinking of using the 3.4 setup on mine, to go with the airbox and slight bore increase. Sell me one cheap?

I guess with the 3.4 tune you have the proper MAF housing calibration for the larger Cayman housing....oh yeah and just going through all the posts now.....looks like it is plug and play. It wasn't in my head though!

My 3.6 could use one too! Currently using a 987 MAF tube and a BMC DIA 85-150.

I highly suggest the IPD and CAYENNE V8 throttle body (much cheaper than the GT3 and its the same size) All those people buying the "GT3" throttle body are being raped.. LOL The V8 throttle body has the connector oriented just a tad different than the actual GT3

Don't laugh.. full pop retail from Porsche is .....

I'm very lucky that I'm exposed to a LOT of Porsche cars/parts. It takes a VERY long time to learn this stuff.

First drive
so I finally got to drive my car again, first impression of the 987 air box is a plus. Makes good sounds too. I will have a final install pic in a new post with all my engine mods to date soon. Need to break in the engine first, but I can tell already that it rips!

Perhaps it is my imagination!

THolyoak used this airbox on my M97 3.8 986 swap back in '09. He said at the time that no modifications were required to get it to fit in the chassis.
Would I gain anything by bypassing the referenced "muffler," or does that just alter the sound?
I am running the 3.6X51 DME map (as it is the largest engine size that was available on a "stock" Porsche 7.8 DME tune/map). Always wondered what I am leaving on the table by not getting it professionally tuned.
I also have a 3.8 IPD kicking around that I never tried. Any ideas if these two mods would give significant gains? He thinks/thought "no" at the time I picked the car up back then.

Nice looking installation! How much did that set you back? If the muffler fits in your bay I would worry about it....I had thought it would only go in a 987 or was there a special 550 spyder edition box that you put in?
I was specifically referring to the Cayman diverter tee and how to make it work on a 3.2 M96.
Where did you get the hose on the tb ....looks like a good fit

I think we are still working out MAF housing issues. Still trying to put my hands a reasonably price air box and MAF housing from there I will be able to see what can be done
It looks like hell to get the old box out and the 987 in!

Just finished modding two boxes. One is going in the 3.2 I mentioned early. I'll go to dyno this week with the car.
I found something else interesting during all this that I'll share this week also.
The MAF you want to run is the .125.01

Thats the one I used also. Works great.
The one from the 987, not so much.

The 125.01 is the updated MAF that we all run in all of our FBW cars. It appears to be a more robust MAF, that is less prone to failure than the 125.00
I have been told numerous times that it needs "programming" to work, but I haven't seen a need in the last 4 years we have been selling them.
The engine is going in the -S today. We finished the engine build on Sat.
