987 v 986 Air box

[BYprodriver]

I am using the 987 Maf tube mounted to the airbox flange with the oem o-ring seal & clips. The flange is what makes it hard to install the airbox past the oil heat exchanger. Once you get the box bolted in you can install the MAF tube. Hard to see in this pic, but the widest clamp to the right is clamping the hose to the MAF tube:

Thanks, yes I see it. It looks like you are using the stock 987 rubber piece at the MAF housing.

Yes I wouldn't try it with the MAF tube on....so not possible with clips and flange?

I dont plan to saw off anything but the muffler

Yes but it's a 3.6 so presumably the engine came out to put the flanged airbox in....may not work with the 3.2 sitting there....or it's simply a matter of removing the oil cooler

Need the detail so I can bang out the job in a day when the opportunity arises

My Box has the original engine that I rebuilt 2 years ago & now displaces 3.6L. In a previous post I was giving RadiumKing tips on how to install airbox with engine in place by removing half the intake manifold with fuel rail.
