What are the benefits of moving to a 997 air box?

It's more aesthetically pleasing if you're looking at the engine.

X2, gonna try modifying a 997.2 DFI to fit as it has more surface area and flow.

The dual intake version can be used if you have an aftermarket or OEM wing that has two air intake ports such as found on the GT3 wings. I have the early gen 1 GT3 wing that I sealed off the second intake as I have the single OEM intake box but at some point I'm going to try the 997 dual intake box and install the second air intake. Probably gives more ram air affect but unknown how much extra (if it all) performance it gives. The motronic has the ability to alter fuel to match air pressure but most likely this would amount to a few extra hp at most. Mainly for looks I guess.

I have one, simple swap.

Still debating on completely removing the engine fan(as it hardly goes on) or replacing it with a slim line fan. Also will need to reroute the oil filler tube.

been driving without the purge fan for a few months now including hot Texas summer. No issue what so ever.

I figured main issue is probably after a fast drive once the car is parked.

Check my project post, I also opened the other side of the engine cover to allow some more air circulation.
