To add a bit more to Johnny's #8 (edited, previous reference to #9 was incorrect), I'd say smoothing out this airflow will also be a benefit. The stock plumbing could be better, as well all know, so one could consider replacing the hoses with smooth, straight tube and a couple of smooth elbow pieces, and that'd be a cheap and effective DIY. I'm sure, depending on your level of perfectionism, you could make it look very clean and like it belongs there.

Ya know he says it jokingly, but in reality, if you want a fast car, you're probably better off selling your boxster and buying like an older C5 corvette or something, because unless you do an engine swap it's never going to be fast. And even if you do that, you would have been better off spending your money on a stock, faster car...:ah:

I said it half jokingly. For the exact reasons you list, you'll be spending thousands of dollars to chase 30 to maybe 50 extra HP.
