Sure, if you don't want cold air induction.

Gotta agree with the King on this one. I’ve seen a couple of the fabspeed design mock up’s in our cars. Cleaner design, leaves A LOT more working room in the engine bay and it’s still a true cold air intake. Much easier than squeezing 10 lbs in a 5 lb bag.

You will get more air with the kit FabSpeed offers, but it's not a cold air induction kit like the 987 air box is. For $400, not worth it to me.

The 987 air box fits perfectly fine in the 986, you just have to move some stuff out of the way to get it in there. Is it easy to install, nope, but IMO, well worth the time and effort.

The $800 lol FabSpeed kit doesn't even address the water issue, but they do say it's for competition.
They are interesting, would be much easier to install, but I'll stick with my 987 air box. It works perfect.

But don’t forget... you get a “permanent” oiled air filter and a cool mounting plate too!
