thanks as always, USMC! i thought the cowl had to come off also but glad to see it's easier than that.
and i notice you mention "$20/filter"...my stealership wants $80! i even called back/asked them twice just to confirm they didn't make a mistake, as i had recently priced it out at pelican parts at $20. sure, i realize dealers are usually 20-50% higher than indys but seriously man, that's ridiculous.

Check out suncoastparts.com and pelicanparts.com for better prices. FWIW, Mann does OEM parts to Porsche. The Porsche boxed pollen filter(with charcoal) looks exactly like the Mann filter from what I can tell in comparing my original Porsche and Mann filter... I suspect the only difference between the two is the packaging(box with Porsche printed on it) in this case. So this may be that extreme case where the packaging has an uplift of $85 and the actual part is $20. 
I stocked up with several Mann filters when pelican had their holiday special. You can also purchase that same set of Bosch plugs from suncoastparts for $99 or pelicanparts for $63.

Just fyi, Amazon has a ton of these parts as well, usually with Free shipping. Just want to offer a variety of buying options when you have a need. I got my plugs there as well for about $8 a plug - so $50 for the exact same Bosch plugs. I get my oil filters there (Mann) for $13 or less.

Just did the Air filter replacement on my 2006.
Interesting to note my 06 had a plastic bracket just like the 997.2 aluminum bracket
And the Mann filter even came with a little black and white instruction booklet for the Porsche
Now to tackle the next DIY

My 05 997.1 had the aluminum bracket with T30 screws. Thank you for the excellent write-up!
Edit: I'm convinced the aluminum bracket was added at a later date.

The photo below shows both the used Porsche cabin filter (top) and the equivalent Mann CUK 3360.
These are available from many sources, many for less than listed below:

Amazon - Mann Filter CUK 3360 with activated charcoal $20.36

Thanks USMC_DS1 for the deatailed post.
My 997 is a ROW 2007 and it has the aluminum bracket! Shouldn't my car be a 997.1 hence without that bracket!
