Default FS: Rare RUF Modified Airbox for 996 & 997.1 cars - all NA engines

Category: Engine - Intake/Fuel
Price (no $ sign please): $425
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (select ONLY those which apply): 996, 997
Location (Region): SouthEast
Item Condition: Used

I purchased a second complete RUF R-Kompressor kit like that installed on my 997.1 C2S in order to have a rebuilt spare supercharger assembly and the other parts in the event that a component of mine became damaged or I needed to have the supercharger rebuilt and didn't want to take the car off the road while that was taking place.

Anyway, the kit came with a RUF Modified Airbox for a 3.8L 997.1, but it will also fit 996 cars and 3,6 models of 997.1 cars. I don't need it as I have the one from my kit and am running a Fabspeed due to my converting to an active aero rear wing as well. Having only seen a stock airbox from one of these cars for a very brief period before installing the EVOMS intake onto my wife's as part of her TT decklid conversion, I don't know exactly what changes have been made to this one, other than the obvious Heimholz resonator chamber being blocked off by the silver plug, but maybe you can tell from the photos.

Also, when the supercharger kit is installed, there is not space for the standard oil filler neck so RUF covers this section with a nice RUF logo'd metal plate and uses the shorter, fixed mount filler neck from the 997.2 generation cars, so you would have to make that change as well in order to use this airbox on you 997.1 or drill the plate to mount the oil filler neck clip.

The RUF logo plate has the clear topcoat worn off above the logo, as you can see in the pics, but is otherwise in excellent condition. I even went as far as to run it through a cycle in my heated, ultrasonic parts washer, so it is super clean and ready to install. Does not include the air filter element.

Let me know if you have any questions. Price does not include shipping or PayPal fees.

Engine bore upgrade just from buying a new airbox

Thanks. It will work with a 996 though as I sold my wife's OEM 997 airbox to a 996 owner, and it was a nice upgrade as the flow is better.

Forgot to mention that it also includes the intake boot to connect the airbox to the throttle body / plenum

Is this the same thing as just adding a silicon induction intake hose and putting on a cap mod?
