Actually, on the GHLs, the cans don't tend to hang below the view of the bumper line when installed, so you only see the tips. GHL's are one of the nicer looking sports exhausts out there IMO. It's too bad that they resonate so much at lower rpms, because their sound is actually really nice and race car like.

I've driven a couple of Boxsters (both on a base 986 and an S version), and they sound great with the GHL. It's just the drone that I couldn't live with.



I especially like how the GHL tips slant upwards like the Lamborghini Murcielago exhaust tips:

I just had another look at it and I actually think this *might* be a GHL.
(look at my signature, I know how a GHL looks like

My guess is that it came off a non-S Boxster and then someone made his own Boxster S mounting kit.

btw: the fact that the u-tubes which connect the exhaust with the cats are included is a HUGE benefit: when I installed my GHL a year ago it took me FOREVER (and many foul words) to get the original u-tubes into the GHL. Talk about a tight fit...
