Jake and others,
Could the owners of the 986 use the updated 987/caymen laminar flow intake tubes to achieve the flow control desired without changing the volume of the tube (as in the TT2).???

Really might be that simple, The TT2 restricts air volume. I cant see anyway around it, simply it takes up space. The result should be less, more directed, air flow. CFM should be tested with the tube off and in a controlled situation. Leaf blower on low- taped to the intake tube, with a CFM measuring device on the output end.

Maybe I am totally wrong, might be. Maybe Pedro has already done this testing and proved me wrong.
