Eliminated the mufflers on the boxster S

[usna_porsche]

Hey guys, I recently purchased my first red porsche boxster S 3 days ago. My first porsche i've owned...but not first to owning a german vehicle. Previously owned a cl55 amg, but sold it because it wasn't agile enough for me.

At first I was going to do the pedro exhaust but the exhaust shop told me it was going to be too much work. They lifted up the car and upon that I realized the boxster already had an aftermarket exhaust. The sound was not doing the beautiful porsche any justice so I decided to eliminate the mufflers. They did a beautiful job with really nice clean bends. The owner was even nice enough to throw in 2 shiny chrome tips.

During the wait me and my brother decided to walk to get some food, I was a bit nervous at first because I was afraid it was going to be too obnoxiously loud... As I was walking back I watched a youtube video of a boxster...I was praying it was not going to sound like that. Once I got there they were putting back on my tires because I was changing the brakes as well...Lowered it...I was allowed to start it...and behold the most beautiful, clean, and high reving engine i've ever heard. It sounded like the gt3 N/A motors. Very quiet during the normal Idles but when I step on it especially coming out of a tunnel it sounds like an F1 ferrari. I kid you not, i'm extremely happy with results. Does not have the droning and annoying sound but a very pitchy REV!!!! Now in the process of getting a gt2 front bumper, Techart sides, and diffuser from precision porsche...Anyone buy from them before?

So how about a sound clip from your new Boxster? Would love to hear it.

Agreed, a boxster with no muffler is really sweet sounding and not nearly as harsh as one might expect. Gurgles at idle and has that really nice flat 6 roar when you get on it.

I am puzzled. Are you saying that you are running straight pipes, no mufflers, no cats?

I agree; I think that's what he's saying (straight pipes). I had a friend that was building a spec Boxster 2.5 and left the exhaust straight...the car was extremely loud at the track...can't imagine it on the street. He eventually fitted a muffler, since it was causing db issues wherever he took it.

This guy is in San Jose, CA. Don't you get shot there for running no cats and no muffler?

I am running completely catless with stuff in my sig below, but have oem PSE muffler with butterfly valves in the open position.

Car sounds amazing and when you hammer the throttle and get it in the 5000+rpm range!

A friend of mine heard me coming down the hill towards my neighborhood the other day and made the comment to me that it sounded like a race car... He owns an '89 911 coupe and is a porscheophile to the hilt.
