Is there any way to amplify the induction sound on a 987, without something as drastic as the Fabspeed intake kit (which requires you to butcher the OEM airbox if you're not willing to drop the engine)? I've read that de-snorking offers marginal gains over stock and imagine it's the same for aftermarket filters that retain the OEM airbox. A better solution seems like retro-fitting the sound-symposer tube found in the 981 GTS, which connects the intake plenum to the cabin. I wonder how tricky that would be (I'm assuming the 987 intake does not have the required ports). Not really keen on a clear engine cover, although that should do it! Thanks.

aftermarket filters boost intake noise. K&N or BMC. Leaving the vertical carpet piece out (which covers the filters) works too, if you don't care about it looking a bit unfinished back there.

Scott here at Fabspeed Motorsport, if your looking for something simple that will change the induction sound, as PorscheAddict said, a BMC replacement air filter is the easiest/cheapest/quickest way to accomplish this.

Feel free to PM for any further questions or pricing!!!

Thanks guys. I think I will give the BMC a go.

I also found a thread where someone did a DIY "retrofit" of the 991 sound-symposer into a 997:

I wonder where is the best place to tap into the inlet tract on a 987 intake. Possibly the airbox itself (so upstream of the air filter rather than towards the MAF sensor)?

Alanine, any updates on this project? I too am looking for an affordable solution to more induction sound.

Thanks in advance.

Hi. I actually sold my 987.2 a few years ago, but I was planning to connect the 981 GTS sound symposer to my intake and pass it into the cabin. I never got around to it, but I do actually have the sound symposer for sale, if you’re interested in a project! Cheers.

I just installed the PCS innovations intake and wow talk about a major improvement in induction sound! It does require you to cut the air box, but after this sound I’m never going back any way. I guess I see how some people think it’s too much as you can hear some of the air sucking in with the windows up under load ( personally think it sounds cool) but WOT 2-3 shifts it’s absolutely glorious

Thanks for the update! I'm going to try the aftermarket filter and baffle delete first. Will follow-up if that doesn't produce enough intake sound.

Do you have a link to the intake you bought? Or an in cabin video/audio to share? I don't want to go any louder than my current exhaust system, but would love more noise inside the cabin when getting on it so curious about this and the BMC. Thanks
