Yes, noted the price. That's why I wanted to ask what to watch for if I am going to order and install it, given the price tag...

I'll be very envious of you if you buy one, an absolutely wonderful sound. I have been to their website many times watching / listening to the video clips, it's an easy way to lose an hour or more of your day.

If that price included headers, it would be worth considering. Without.... I don't know.... that's SERIOUS money for a cat back exhaut.

$6500 is a LOT of money for an exhaust on any car, especially a boxster.

Get the Porsche Sport Exhaust and take the rest of the cash and bank it for inevitable future, out-of-warranty repairs.

Well I did talk to some mod dealers and they said the Porsche Sports Exhaust has no sound. I might as well not buy it (PSE) to save the money for the inevitable future.

You're getting misinformation. The PSE is one of the best sounding exhausts for the Boxster. It's quiet at idle, but then as you rev the engine it opens up the by-pass valves to really give it some sound. It's a similar setup to the by-pass valves on a Ferrari (although a completely different sound) or the by-pass valves on this Kreissieg exhaust. Check out YouTube as there should be videos of the PSE on there.

indeed. During normal driving, the PSE is quiet, when u step on it, it opens up. Its not always loud like a stebro race exhaust that rattles your entire interior with drone

I had a 100+ hour this week finishing up the revised version of our 2.9 engine based from the 2.5... I had lots of issues that I wasn't expecting but success occurred today on the dynojet.

The podcast series is still awaiting clearance from Itunes, as soon as its cleared I'll make a post. They have had the file for 10 days already.

As far as the teasers.. OK, I'll not offer any more of them.. It really isn't fair.

To be honest there are too many negatives to posting the information we have collected. I lived through a decade of arguments when posting data concerning our aircooled engines and I have no desire to endure that again.

Anytime that information (especially negative) is posted it opens us up to challenges from several groups...

I promise to stop the teasers.
