987 v 986 Air box

[Brad Roberts]

Porsche has more engineers than both those companies combined X5


The BMC stuff is a compromise, just like the Chinese headers. They make one size to fit all and typically.. it is too small.

You know:

The stock CaymanS box supports 300hp stock. I have personally dyno'd and tuned this box to 420hp in X51 Cayman's.


We have made our own tubes/air boxes.. too much work.. I can buy this from Porsche and with 15min worth of mods to the box, it bolts in.


I have used the other stuff. The best one I have seen on the dyno is no longer available and was nearly 4x times the price of buying a stock CaymanS air box from Porsche (new)

Plus water ingestion and FOD problems would be better dealt with. I believe there many models that use this airbox starting with the 550 spyder 986......going all the way up to the present day Cayman S....not sure about the base Cayman and the R.

I started to modify my stock s box but have stopped.
