If you run the 996 on the stock 986 airbox, you will run very rich. Too rich. The dme can't compensate, it will throw the cel, and may kill your cats in the process. If you're gonna do this , at least change the MAF housing. It's 3.25, not 3.5". There is a bmw part that will work and I can dig up the part number for you, but you will have to splice it into your existing intake somehow.
