Default Air intake

Howdy all,

The previous owner in my GT3 replaced the stock air box intake with a fabspeed cold air intake....

I am trying to locate an OEM air box intake, but am open to ideas on how to make my own, or any other air box that can be used to efficiently take air from the air scoop and into the intake. On one side, I could install the Motorsport twin outlet airbox intake and cut out the other side of the deck lid and make it into a twin intake, however the amount of power I would gain would be zero over a single intake.

Lemme hear your thoughts 😀

You may want to look into a K&N cold air intake as well.

easily made to fit 996. Cost effective compared to new oem box.

I have the airbox rear portion that goes to the plenum but do not have the front cover as an early Fab Speed airbox was essentially the stock airbox except the front cover was changed. I have that complete assembly if interested

Sorry for the late reply, been a bit busy lately.

So I think I have the same part you have, the filter to the plenum, but nothing from the deck to the filter. Unless I miss understood.

The factory Box (the whole thing) is about 900 dollars. The Motorsport one (Same as on the 997.2 GT3) is about 800, but will require cutting a second hole under the deck lid scoop. Wondering which way is better to go.
