Did you do it in stages or all at once? I'm skeptical and want to do it in the following stages, starting with the least cost item:
+hp claims
1. Air flow $395 +10hp
2. Cat bypass $ 495 +8hp
3. Muffler $1095 +12hp
4. Chip $1495 +12hp

Anyone install just the Air flow and notice any difference? Or a combo of any of the above upgrades?

Before I upgraded to an S, I test drove another Boxster S with upgrades and did notice a significant difference in power from an S without upgrades. However, did not know exactly which upgrades. It was sold before I made my decision to moved to an S.

I never drove a 996 before, but the shop person there said that it was as fast if not faster than a 996.

Should have never drove the upgraded S!

Worth it for the price?
