I have to agree that the 987 box is much better than the stock setup for sure. And you’d have to be an idiot or a billionaire to buy $400 - $800 worth of plastic/rubber tubing. However, I still see a lot of merit in the design. It’s simple, free flowing, utilizes a space that is protected from engine heat and readily available, lighter, etc. What I struggle with are the water entrainment issues. On most of my other cars the intakes are located in the front grill and direct the air (more or less) straight back to the throttle body in a very short distance. On the Boxster, while some water may enter the air duct, it would still have to get through a filter and travel you heck of a long way before reaching our throttle body. What am I missing?
