Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I put a 997 3.6 air box in my 2004 c2 . I decided to reuse the 996 snorkel because it clears the air pump and mated well with the lid aperture , I have the 997 snorkel . I may or may not try it .

POST 3Original post

Great looking mod....did you find it used or new?

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Used , but it was mint . Even came with a new air filter

POST 5Original post

Looks great...nice job! How about some more details on what had to be done.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Unbolt the old one , take it out . Bolt the new one it , the mounts are identical. You reuse the same maf sensor . The 997 intake hose fits right on . If you use the 997 snorkel you have to rotate the air pump by ten degrees . If you use the 996 snorkel you don't , the two mount into the airbix body identically . , I liked the way the 996 snorkle fit into the deck lid so I reused it . But I might get a ducktail down the line and I think the 997 snorkle might work better with one of those fibreglass tails.

POST 8Original post

That's bad ***! I've always liked the way the 997 air box looked in comparison to ours. Ours is just so "business." The 997 is atleast business with a little style. Great job!

POST 9Original post

Nice, I was thinking of the same thing. Did you swap the entire air box or just the top half?

POST 10Original post

Nice, did you configure the 997 box to have the helmholtz resonator closed? I think the 3.8 box is the one that has that feature but I might be wrong.

POST 11Original post

Very Nice mod!! Now try putting the 997 frunk in? That would be another great project. I bought the 987 boxster floor mats because they were cheaper and it was a perfect fit. Dimensionally these two generations are pretty much the same.

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

You have to swap the whole box, but the snorkle may be re-used

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 13218251

Correct the 3.6 doesn't have the resonator , so you don't have to plumb in the resonator actuator

POST 15Original post

Wow, so much fascination over this, not to mention the orange cap mod being revived. Double Win!

Yeah I almost mentioned that too but wasn't really relevant to this subject. Anywho, instead of wasting space, here's my contribution:

POST 18Original post

It would be good for another 6HP if you stick some DiNoc "carbon fiber" on it.

POST 19Original post

I did this years ago, but used the one from a 3.8 that has the resonator. I just left it unconnected. Any ideas how it was controlled?

POST 20Original post

Quotes source post: 13220292

Vacuum actuated, as the revs went up the valve closed to give more noise and POWER! Of course im joking about the power... You can mod a 3.8 997 to permanently close the flap regardless of rpm too.

Honest question: Does this make anything better, or is the main advantage having A Newer Factory Bit (Looks Cool)?

Looks cool to whichever random stranger you want to pop the hood for, kinda like a girl that has a Brazilian wax job.

POST 26Original post

I have the debate in my head over keeping it standard vs using the newer looking awesome part! Standard won, but seeing this makes me reconsider as I could always just swap it back

WANT....Love the way that looks. I wonder if the lid would fit on a 996 box or do you need the whole thing?
