anyone intalled NHP full exhaust???

"your talking about a 2.7L 217 hp versus a 2003 3.2L 258 hp which the same exact 3.2L in 2005 puts out 280 hp."


My point is that it is very expensive to get extra hp out of our cars with bolt-ons. I am quite aware of the hp of all of the base as well as the S-series boxsters. I picked up 12-14% increase in hp in my 2.7L, many have found similar increases in their S-series engines with bolt-ons.

On a good day, I can put out almost 250 hp to the crank (210 hp to the wheels 15% drivetrail loss is 247 hp to the crank). I have also lightened my car so that it weighs several hundred lbs less than the S-series Boxsters. My car was 2775 lbs stock and I have lightened it to around 2650 lbs, so my little 2.7L is lots of fun to drive, even though it may be an apple, or is it an orange.....

Excellent, I wasn't knocking on you or your car. 30 hp is what should be expected with IHE. I wouldn't have put $4,000 out for any exhaust though.
that actually puts you 7 hp over the same 2.7L found in the 2005 boxster. good job. sounds fun to drive. hopefully mine will be as well when I am done.

everytime I go on ebay i see that exhaust system, and the video they have - and I want to buy it. it sounds sooooooooooooooo cool.

does this thing drone like nuts?

on a base 2000, would their FULL system...the one that is $2200 and has everything.... including cats so here in CA, I ccan still pass smog - would it REALLY make ANY power I would feel or is it just going to sound cool and do nothing for speed?

lighter than stock?

1. Not sure about the smog pass. they are 200 cell CATS versus a oem CAT which has about 600 to 800 cells. you may or may not pass. I dont have do worry where I live.

2. wait for the Dyno results, Pre and Post install results will be posted here in the next 2 weeks.

3. they advertise little cabin drone. but I will post those results as well. and I have a little solution for that as well if it is needed.

4. yes, its lighter you are getting rid of the boat anchor in the rear of the car. the system you are talking about with all 4 sport CATS is 20LBS lighter. even lighter if you delete the rear CATS.

stay tuned

The average HP I see from any Boxster S is 223, average TQ is 210.
