987 v 986 Air box

[winter.k]

How does the 987 air box intake sound compared to 986 (desnorkled) once installed? Is there a difference, what does it sound like? Thanks in advance for any input.

Never desnorkeled my 986 box. The 987 box and intake upgrade that I have done, she gives a good roar at WOT with the snorkel on. I would imagine it's more then what a desnorkeled 986 box gives. You can tell the 987 box is moving some serious air.

Is there a difference between a 986 throttle body and a 987?
I am switching my 986 cold air intake box to a 987 (as Brad suggested)
and the Intake "T".. surfing flee bay it seems they have part
number of 98660511501, or 99610702600 regardless if it is
listed as 986 or 987!?

I highly recommend going to a 987S throttle body, 10mm bigger I believe. After I installed this on my 986S, it made all the difference along with the 997 T. Similar to what Pedro sells I'm told.

And the intake roar is probably the most enjoyable part of it all!
