Sounds great. I too am very curious what kind of dyno numbers you generate.

Curious as to whether you have dyno'd your car as we seem to have quite similar setups, apart from the GIAC tuning you've used and the Softtronic route I'm going to take... Interesting comparison for sure!

I have not dyno'd nor plan to anytime soon. I was hoping to get a ballpark from your numbers. I have always guessed around 15-20 at the wheels and most of that on the higher end though I do get quicker throttle response.

Softronics

Hi, Fish. Have you had Softronics installed on your Box S? I have 2001 S. I m thinking of getting Softronics since that is about only package which allows customer to tune own flavor..... with complete bit by bit file redo back to stock.. I have asked Softronics with emails and even phone calls but no replies. Have you talked to anyone in Softronics? Let me know. Thanks.

Ebay has them for sale for $159.00.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsche-Boxster-986-2-5L-2-7L-3-2L-Performance-HEADERS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ133195QQihZ017Q QitemZ270224862484QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Uh... o.k. just pasted this, and noticed that these guys just lowered their prices to $100.00 plus shipping. Seems like there is a price reduction going on for all 986 headers. Some other sellers that had them for more are also dropping.

Chinese Headers

I saw one Chinese header on Ebay for like $89 with a best offer option...that means more like $70 might be something they might bite on. Btw, are there anyone who likes or dislikes them...it be interesting to know if they are worth the buy. It's not much, it's just the fact I will have to take time to install it am I wondering if it is worth considering. Chime in.
