What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

- Oil and filter change (filter exam and mag drain plug were a-ok)
- Drilled access hole in pan and did the transaxle/gearbox oil change (Porsche unicorn fluid)
- GBox 2nd gear detent (preventive, not having any popout problems)
- Porsche Genuine AOS
- TechnoBrace
- Zimmerman Z rotors and Akebono PC pads
- Had minor crack in rear Carrera Light rim lip repaired and all rims refinished in correct Seal Gray/Artic Silver with clear powder coat
- Replaced BMC oiled air filter with stock Mahl paper filter
- Replaced Borla muffler with Brombacher ‘sound version’ muffler (love it)
- Replaced broken driver side sun visor mirror cover and applied a new airbag blackout decal

Ready for the spring / summer season

OldcarGuy; Just curious as to why you went from oiled air filter to dry air filter?
Also, would like to hear your Brombacher some day; I'd like to go that route.

Second that on the brombacher!

I been curious how loud running a NHP 200 cell header with stock mid cats and a brombacher might be. Was reading runing that header with stock exhaust maintains low end torque, while bumping the mid range up too.

Hi Ciao, I went back to the dry air filter because I don’t want to risk fouling the MAF if I accidentally over oil the air filter. Because I have the 987 air box, it has plenty of flow with the dry filter anyway.

I’ll post a sound clip of the Brombacher if I ever get a chance. In the meantime, there’s a 987 clip on YouTube and it sounds identical to mine.

Going to the 987 airbox with increased airflow makes sense to switch.Good job on all the other maintenance work!

Thanks! I’d like to take credit for the airbox but it comes standard on the SE.
