Correct- the desnork mod is great on the pre-2005 models (ie. all 986 cars). For 987 (2005+), there is a mod to remove the restrictor plate for more airflow. Reports are that removing the snork for these cars yields a drastic reduction of mpg.

Mod for 987 cars (although they call it a desnork, they actually just remove the restrictor plate): http://www.caymanclub.net/reviews/showproduct.php?product=29&cat=4&limit=views&date=1161151595
