I know there are 100's of disgarded 987 MAF tubes laying around 987 owners garages.
Okay hopefully the 987 housing diameter matches up the the 996 tune requirements...it is around 3.25" as I recall. Let us know how the tune works and there is problem running it on a 3.2L and all the ramifications

I wonder what they do to replace them with and why?? I need one but I plan to sleeve it down to match the 986 3.2 DME

not alot available for aftermarket intakes for the cayman/987 (already is a very good cold air intake) so not many used mafs on the market. the place to ask is via a wanted ad at planet 9.

ps, if you are gonna push a new base tune on your car, try the 996 x51 tune - raises redline by 200 rpm.
