Is there any torque requirement for the filter and cover screws (items 7 and 9), or just go for reasonably tight?

Just reasonably tight

Here is the process illustrated for those who are interested.

Awesome write-up!! Great pictures...

This is an excellent guide, but I have a 2007 997-2 and there are no eight screws present to remove the air filter housing. Do you have a similar guide for replacing the filter on the 2007 997-2?

A 2007 997 is a 997-1.

Look at the two DIY Tutorials here

excellent illustration.

congratulations.

Can we upgrade to a BMC or K/N filter ? Surely we can, but will they have the plastic extension to seat and secure the filter ?

May be worth a look into >

Any suggestions...

[phillipj]

Yes the K & N and BMC are identical to OEM...

HI there

Do you have the parts number for the BMC or K/N

Cheers

[phillipj]

Sorry I don't have the part number but they should be easy enough to get with a Google search.

:cheers:

For a 997.2 C2S the BMC P/N is 550/08.

For a 997.2 C2S the K&N P/N is E-1999.  Cleaning & oiling kit is separate.

Not sure about BMC, but K&N is not an upgrade.  You may get more air flow, but you also get your intake coated with oil and dirt, which makes it's way into your engine.  I know that Ram/Cummins will void your warranty if they find you use K&N.

In reality, there is little, if any, evidence that either of these filters flow any better than factory over time, and they do let a lot of crap get by in the process.  They do make more noise, if that is a factor.

very good explanation
