Hi: I am new to this forum and acquired at 2011 997.2 tts. I purchased a BMC air filter and was about to change it out and realized I do not see the hardware holding the carbon fiber air filter housing. Any procedures for doing this. I see instructions on the 997.1 but did not see any on 997.2. Any help is appreciated.

I believe you just grab it by the air duct holes and lift straight up. It should just slide right up; then there is a few screws holding the filter.

That is correct.

I will give a try. Thanks

Cost and Gains from the mod??? (beside better filtration?)

I bought mine on Amazon. This is the best price I found.

IMO no noticeable gain for the price and many will also argue the OEM filter is just as good if not better.

I think you guys are probably correct. To be fair, it is difficult to measure by the seat of your pants 3-5 hp increase on our type of vehicles. I typically are not into these type of modifications, but thought I would give it a try. I am not starving for power in our type of vehicles as I do not intend to race.

The problem with these oil filters is.. Owners don't clean them.. They leave them for 2 years and dirt packs on dirt. You end up "dusting" your engine cylinders..

And then on the opposite spectrum, those that wash the filter around the third time you start to see holes/sunlight thru the cotton...

My opinion the risk vs reward is to great. You can't feel the difference, the factory pleated filter is VERY good.

Think I'll stay stock..

No offense what so ever to the OP, but it's funny to me how some still try to push aftermarket filters as "mods". Probably aimed at the same market demographic that goes for homepathy, colloidal silver and blood type diets.
