Nice car madmods!

I too have a NHP system and am happy with it.

I can't see your attached pictures.

Hello Mad,
I looked at the pics, and videos of this exhaust, and am intrigued. Looks like very nice stuff...
Some of what I have read is that changing the exhaust system does very close to nothing (save, perhaps, a more cool sound). In other words, no "bang for the buck."
The Fabspeed video posits that Porsche intentionally throttles down the Boxster exhaust, so that these vehicles don't "compete" with their more expensive models.

Q: Did you find that installing the NHP made a big difference, and would you do it again?
Q: Have you done any other mods (intake, or other) that also improved your engine's performance?
Thank you,

Thank you,
Upgrading just the cat back provides relatively small gains in hp (much better sound though) However, a thorough and methodical approach to upgrading the entire system, can produce considerable gains in hp and performance . The key words are "thorough" and "methodical" .

Hi Johnny, did you upgrade your entire exhaust with NHP or ?
If so, did you experience a good gain in HP/performance? Happy with the experience?

I am getting ready to pull the trigger on this, and appreciate your input. Thank you,

My exhaust is not from NHP. Sorry if I confused you . My comment was meant to be taken in general terms .
