Grocery Hauler and Airbox Modifications
All:

Well with nice weather in the 50's yesterday I decided to clean the air filter and remove the MAF screens and the noise box.

Well I wouldn't say the previous owner was lax on the maint. portion...............................



Ok, Ok maybe he was trying to scent the incoming air with that forest fresh smell. Not sure.

Then just to prove that we don't need no stinkin SUV to go to the grocery store...................we took the 996.

you should take out the spare, you'll have more room and drop about 20-30 lbs

Spare is part of the crush zone system. FYI, you can put twice as much in a Cab as a coupe.
