996 is completely different. Forget replacing the airbox on a 987. Not only is the 987 airbox vastly superior to the 986 airbox and the Evo, it is a LOT bigger.

The EVO airbox filter is very large.

How is the 987 airbox vastly superior over the EVO?

The 987 intake is a big improvement over the stock 986 though. So much that aftermarket companies such as EVO can't improve on it.

The airbox may be bigger, but the air (in the drivers side rear fender) is more restriced than the 986.

Not if you take out the baffle plates. The 987 filter is also about twice the size of the 986 and EVO filters. I have spent far too many hours with these than I care to think about.

What baffle plates? How do you remove them? Is there a link?

The baffle plate behind the grill comes up quite frequently. Search here or on Renntech.org. I know there are many posts including a nice photoshoot. If you drive in puddles, I would not recommend removing the baffle, though.
