Freeing up the power potential on the 3.2 S

Hey Guys, I'm new to the Boxster world but have owned several other Porsche's from the air-cooled era. Not to worry, I sold them out before they became ridiculously valuable so I could retain my original buy high, sell low strategy.

My 2001 S is crazy clean, like near showroom (probably never spent a night outdoors in its 42,000 miles traveled), but I would like to capture it's full potential if possible. I drove it straight to the professionals upon purchase to have the IMS bearing replaced for peace-of-mind for starters.

My question is, can I change the headers, cats & mid-pipes, plenum, throttle valve and air box without sending the ECU into protest via check-engine light? My plan is to retain the stock outward appearance and not compromise practicality. If it's possible, I'll commit, if not I'll continue to live with the strangled 250HP.
