Best exhaust system for 987

Any suggestions. I have a regular boxster not an S. I want a nice deep sounding exhaust tone.

Porsche Sport Exhaust (PSE) has an all-around great sound.

I don't see anything wrong with making these cars louder, they're Porsche sports cars, they are not meant to whisper. However, I would suggest making a internal decision as to how much louder a car you would like, the differences among these muffler systems can be profound. I am adding headers this weekend, they were very cheap so how the sound will be is ??? Whatever you do, keep the stock pipes, if my car sounds obnoxious and ****************ty this year, I'll crawl back under and put the restrictive stock manifold back on, NBD...

I vote none. Straight pipes ftw.

I just heard a boxster at an autocross and it sounded mean as hell with according to the owner 99$ chinese headers and midas straight pipes.

Take my advise, soak the bolts till your sick of crawling under and then keep doing it anyway. I was 10/12 breaking the same two on each side, which leads me to believe they are the hottest. These bolts seemed extra wimpy, then again steel & aluminum is always tough. Tomorrow should be fun, web tutorials, easy out extractors, faith and luck.. If anyone considers them self the sultan of extraction, I'd love to have your input..
