I live in Dubai, would de-snorkeling my Cayman S not result in more dust ingress? Thinking mainly of highway cruising with side on desert sand storm we get here...???

The 997 if you look has the same cold snorkel concept, so as long as you replace your air-filter every 6 months I would imagine you'll be fine. How often does the dealership recommend you replace your filter as you live in Dubai?

I have some things left over from my '05 987 S that I want to give away if anyone is interested. 987 Grills and restrictor plate, Amber Side markers, aftermarket Air filter (given to me by freind but is new and unused), and some other small tidbits. I dont forsee me needing these anytime in the near future and dont want them to go to waste. It appears that we will be obtaining a Panamera as opposed to another 987 S. Please PM me if you are interested.

Engineers at Porsche would never leave 15 HP sitting on the table for simple air venting. Think about it. They spend thousands of dollars in engineering to get 1 HP out of an engine and maintain reliability.
Butt dynos are highly affected by sensory input (noise, intake and exhaust). Always have been.
Before I would remove mine, I'd what to see what a new air sensor costs. Probably not cheap.

Well, I agree it's not comething that I can image would be done without a good reason. Can anyone with a 911 (turbo?) tell us for sure weather a similar restrictor is found on its intake?

On the 987:
987 575 647 01 impact absorber plate (AKA - what we call the restrictor plate)
On the 997TT:
Does not exist it seems according to the diagram. Just the air inlet (outside on body) and the air duct

That's because Turbo drivers don't smoke...
