For me this is a 3rd car, always stored in the garage, but driven at least once a week. On my DD I'm a lot more sensitive to noise. The snorkel seems easy and fun since it's simple and reversible.

I'm absolutely not trying to open a can of worms here, but one thing I'm noticing is a huge amount information on IMS items and maybe I'm just buying into the paranoia, but piece of mind is worth a lot to me. If $329 and a couple of hours in my buddy's garage will do that, it's worth it for me.

OC-Boxster, where do you go for service? Haydon Bros?
i found a great indy mechanic in the city of orange called redline automotive. Porsche specialist and they love boxsters. Its owned and operated by 2 former porsche mechanics that started their own company. They have done all the work on my boxster including a clutch/flywheel/IMS/RMS service. I highly recommend them. Call them and ask for james lee great guy.
