Do you have comparisons of dyno numbers or LTFT before and after?

What you need to know is that if you go to all this trouble, you may as well put in the 987 airbox. The other thing to know is having done it, I don't see how it is accomplished with the engine in place! I do think you get a better and bigger filter with the 987 airbox if I remember correctly.
