definitely watch those black nubs on the bottom

You are putting in a BMC filter and a Fabspeed CAI right (come on, someone's gotta egg you on to spend $ now that Stacy is MIA )

Good luck

 

r u sure u r up 2 that task....it may b a challenge 4 u LMAO

 

i did replaced recently. it was pretty easy. all you need is one flat screw driver (to remove Air hose clamps) and trox screwdriver (to remove the air box, 8 screws in the bottom).

 

cool ! thx !

lol. i already have the BMC filter installed (which needs cleaning) and currently using the red CAI from fabspeed.
the BMC filter was installed by RSS a while back when i was having some work done..hence the request for DIY now.

yeah, i thought about hiring Stacy to do it...

 

Cleaning? Stacy would just buy a new one you cheapskate

 

Porsche has newer version with little 'prongs' and I haven't had an issue yet...the other ones always came out and fell somewhere and sometimes I couldn't find them.

 

stacy? i waited all wknd but he is not volunteering..

seriously tho.. i decided to clean it since it is 're-usable'.

just knock the dirt off.. rinse in warm water.. let dry.. than lightly spray oil.. then let it sit on newspaper overnight.. re-install..

i think i can do it.

 

Woooo....
easy on the oil.....u car will start throwing codes like crazy!!!

 

don't try changing the air filters on the new 991... you'll need to remove the rear bumper and tail lights to gain access to the airbox!!!!

 

no worries buddy.

it will be a very light mist of oil.. like the way it comes from BMC originally.

 

wish i had a 991 cab.. lol

 

That new 991 car sounds like a Gold Mine for the "stealers".
