If you're going to do it, get a 987 for better breathing and bigger filter.

@Starter986:
So that's the problem. Try as I might I haven't been able to nail down exactly which one that is.
I know I've seen both BX07 and BX05 and I'm pretty sure that I've also seen a BX03.
All covering 97-04 Boxsters and in a mix of base and S.
I'm just not sure which one is the "correct" one or if some are updated versions of the essentially same part.

@Newsguy:
That was my original plan.
But then I started reading about the lack of space for routing the intake pipe to the plenum and decided that that was way too much hassle for right now.
Unless of course I'm misunderstanding something and it's a drop in replacement as long as you leave the plenum alone ?

Really just trying to get decent filtration on this car without too much effort.
And yes. I did consider simply replacing the cone with another cone, but since I have no clue what's in it it would be hard to find a part that I know will fit.
