Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Reported cause
The 997 airbox'es 3.6 and 3.8 have been proven to be straight up bolt ins to the 996 cars.
Leading evidence: 'straight up bolt ins' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'straight up bolt ins' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

The 997 guys have put these in their non S cars. The 997 airbox'es 3.6 and 3.8 have been proven to be straight up bolt ins to the 996 cars. Even the EVOMS intake is the same from the 997 to the 996.. one little 'L" bracket is different... .10c at HomeDepot.
Obviously you will have to cut a hole in the fiberglass deck for the right side intake. But that is required to use this x51 intake on the 997S as well.

As for gains... I would look on the 997 board for those posts. Not sure if anyone dyno'd this. However... if I had the means to design an optimum cold air intake for our cars.. I highly doubt that it would look much different than this.. maybe not in CF as that is just for looks. Let's see two air intakes, optimally if fed by an air scoop on the rear deck like the GT3RS, filter with larger surface area, lots of water drainage underneath.. Should work out just dandy.
Group buy???
X74 is the Porsche coilover (non-adjustable) for the Mk II C2
X73 is the Porsche Coilover (non-adjustable) for the Mk II C4S and Turbo
They go well beyond the M030 and are the top end set-up Porsche offers for these cars. A word to the wise though, they are stiff. PSS9's are much more comfortable.
