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.
