What's your favorite mod?

[Chuck W.]

I just looked at the list of mods I have done on the Boxster over the last 16 years. There are 38 of them. I honestly can't pick out my favorite. The steering wheel mod by carsdream.com with the leather air bag cover are very cool and the PSE with the cat deletes are up there though!

I am glad your exhaust mod worked out well David. It was my pleasure to help.

Same here Chuck. Many mods done, but they fall into different categories. Cosmetic mods, functional mods, power mods, handling mods. Each has their own special place.

I'd have to say the most satisfying mod so far was the intake system mod. It was a very time consuming and not an easy mod that paid me back with a very nice gain in performance. I could tell right of the bat this was a great mod. I've installed NHP 200 Cells Exhaust Headers, secondary cat delete pipes and a Borla muffler. While it sounds great, but I don't feel the gain I got from the intake system upgrade mod.

After winter is over I will be putting on my Koni FSD shock and new 1" lower springs and rebuilding the suspension with new wheels and tires. So that one may take the top spot.

It's a toss-up between the Comfort Top (easiest) and 4 stalk OBC activation. (hardest) I appreciate both of them every time I drive.

...Comfort Top. Being able to drop the top while driving is awesome.

So I looked up the Comfort Top and I see one here on the forums for $200. Is there anyone doing one cheaper?

I hacked the cabrio relay. Bent pin 18. Still have to have the hand brake one click up, and hold the button for the duration of the operation, but I like it.

I also bent the speed pin but I also grounded the pin that comes from the parking brake so I can lower and raise the top while moving and I don't have to lift the brake at all.

Not the same thing as a comfort top or robo-top. Those modules are "one touch" operation.

yes, engine breathing improvements and suspension work are my top two as well. if you have access to a pst2piwis, a 996 tune is a big improvement in engine response. also in my top three are ... gt3 seats w bk direct floor mounts and harnesses (greatly improved connection to the car) OR semi-solid transmission mounts (greatly improved shifting) - can't really decide.

Man, where did 2018 go? I was supposed to have my suspension done last year and I'm getting to it this year....I think lol. Seriously though, 2018 was like a year that didn't exist for me????

Installing switches to operate the front and engine bay fans manually. Front fans lower water temps real fast. Gives me peace of mind on those hot summer days. Headers plus catback would be a close second for that raw exhaust note.
