They look like pretty high quality parts but for the money I think I would buy the Fabspeed headers that have the primary cats designed into the header. Also, I'm not sure I buy their math on the HP gains.

They use a very interesting collector design, unlike anything I've seen before. I'd be interested to see dyno charts on their full system. I'm also willing to bet it resonates like mad.

I agree with Patrick, That whole setup is most likely very loud and I think their math is somewhat high on HP gains.

I've ridden in a couple of those 3.6 911 conversion cars but have no experience with any Boxster parts. I know the "mufflers" he offers for the conversion cars are nice and throaty (loud) and would assume something similar for a Boxster application.

It sounds too good to be true. The numbers he claims seems to be high. You would think if his numbers were that good he would have dyno'd it and would be selling like crazy. I really don't believe that just by going to a 2 1/4" will yield you that kind of power, it may but would it be at a use able RPM range? etc... Also keep in mind many rice rockets tried enlarging their exhaust system and most actually end up loosing power and just end up with and obnoxious sound.
