I thought the support arms for the injector on a 998 were at the side of the radius.
Shazaam has previously done a excellent post on the draw backs of fitting a large filter inside the airbox as the Helmholtz effect of the airbox is compromised, so suggest this is not the ideal way to go about filtering your air supply, trouble is if you have carbon airtubes without a filter option what do you do. These may well be the answer, so as I see it they are well wort trying.
I also don't totally take for granted what Dynos tell me. When racing my TL1000S I fitted a TFi fuel injection unit. Had a before dyno run, took it racing and played with the settings where I managed to improve the drive out of corners, it pulled strogly down the straits and my lap times dropped. Put it back on the dyno after and apparently had a few horsepower less, which is the opposite from what I felt I got in the real world with speeds in excess of 140mph
