New Boxster Owner with a couple questions - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Hello,

I just purchased a 2001 Rainforest Green Metallic Boxster. I love it! The more I drive it, the better I like it.

I'm the second owner (Brandywine Porsche sold it new) and have all the maintenance receipts. I haven't gotten to speak to the original owner yet, but will shortly.

My car has the optional Sport Package. What's included in this package? My car also has the optional 17" lace wheels, so it does not include 18" wheels.

Anyone out there running the BFGoodrich KDW tires? These seem to be a great deal.

I've read the threads on aftermarket exhaust. Does anyone have the TechArt exhaust (p/n 986.310.841)? I thought I remember reading somewhere that it has the valve that allows the exhaust to go straight through at 4,000rpms, like some of the Ferraris. I only saw one price on the web and it was $1600. The valve may help with resonance at lower rpms.

Thanks!
