Looks fantastic. Make sure both filters line up directly under the ducts. I actually trimmed off the right side for that purpose.

Skube, love it. That's a sweet ride with the TT decklid and PCCBs.

I did the same on my wife's 997 when we bought it 8 years ago. Have the Erams on mine too

Absolutely, I was impressed at how well the ducts line up with the filters, they are right on top of them, hard to show in pictures, but you can just see them get about 1/4" from the filters as the decklid closes.

Did half of a spark plug change. Did the passenger side. 2of the 3 were easy, the one furthest back was very tight and took patience. Will do the drivers side tomorrow or Monday. Car only has 35k miles but unsure if they’ve ever been changed. I owned the car almost 4 years now so figured it was time.

Have some catching up to do and post the goodies I had installed over 2021, but this is what I did today, in NJ, just in time for the winter storm tonight:

Did the drivers side this morning. Much easier after the experience of the other side and none as difficult as the tough one on the passenger side. Old plugs looked reasonably good and I assume we’re original (2006 C2S). The coil packs were original and in great condition. The car has been garaged it’s whole life which I’m sure helps with the coil packs.

Looks kind of like the IPD plenum. The manifolds look to be cast aluminum.

Finally got my BFI Perforated shift **** installed! It's great!!




Also after 4 years, purchased my front passenger airbag sensor, swapped it out and using the Foxwell Pro, cleared that stupid Airbag light that's been staring at me all this time.

love it! I assume it's heavier than stock and I don't see the center insert on the BFI site but I'd prefer yours over what's pictured on their site...

Yes its a bit heavier. The shift pattern insert is an extra $8.50. It comes with the standard insert you see on the site. It was a no brainer to get this one as well.
