Yes. Adding an aftermarket muffler to a Boxter is ALWAYS about sound. Side benefits not often considered are lighter weight in the tail of the car and less residual heat. Performance with the stock rig is already excellent. So if you like it to sound a little rough... go for it. Personally I kinda like that sewing machine sound.
