Will the 997 3.8 Airbox fit a 996.2, 3.6 (2002) C4S Tiptronic without buying a bracket or moving the airpump?
Will the snorkel from the spoiler have to be the 996 air box snorkel? Sorry for the questions, but could not get at clear answer from this thread.
From my understanding you can use a 3.8L box + 996 snorkel so you don't need to move the pump.
I don't have any experience with it - just what I remember reading.
i Read it was just vacuum actuated? Maybe not then. I recall someone rigging it up - maybe it was to keep it closed
My mistake. It is vacuum actuated but it is electronically controlled through the DME. According to Renntech, it is a 7.8x DME from the 997.2 which of course would not work in the 996 without serious modifications. I have also read where people have glued the flap shut to gain the noise.

How do you sort out the Tiptronic, that need some air, just install a breather on the end?
My 996 came with a K&N intake...would like to switch to this. Great to know it's a direct drop in. My previous smog inspector gave me a hard time about it, even with the CARB approval sticker on the intake!
I have started the change now, used 1 hour and not even close to completing. The main screw is hard to fasten, the snorkel bumps into the pump on the left.
will remove the pump and change the angle and see if it fits. So far it's not even close...

My personal experience is you won't be able to fit a 3.8 airbox on a 996.2 unless you relocate the SAI bump (an inch or so to the left) with a custom bracket (such as the one from EVOM). You may be able to fit the airbox using a 996 snorkel but I have not tried so can't confirm.
