Note what Mr.Particle said in #19. He is one of the smart guys on the Forum -for the noobs.
We need to do better.
It is bad enough that the stock airbox gets hacked out but to then spend time and money installing an inferior diy hack is just too Ricer for the 986 Forum - I hope.

The solution I suggested may be imperfect but at least it is cool .O.K. not cold but probably not much over ambient temperature.
The plan is -create an airbox and filter within the empty cavity between the inner and outer fender walls.
The stock system uses this route.It just does not use the empty space there effectively.
If anyone has a better alternative for CAI,please share. I have no pride attached to the 'fender void' suggestion.
