Boxster S exhaust on a non-S? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I want a sport exhaust for the 987 that doesn't cost three grand. *sigh*

Yeah, looking forward to a 987 PSE myself, I like the 986 one quite a bit. I may have posted here or PPBB regarding this, but I saw a 986 PSE bolted on a white 987 (base) in Balboa Park. It looked great.

I contacted both Pioneer and Suncoast about doing this. Pioneer parts were typically clueless but the guy from Suncoast was quite helpful. He said the exhaust systems between the 986 and 987 were dissimilar enough where it would be quite the PITA to install. Wish I knew the owner of that white 987 to get his input.

anyone know of a reputable and quality place in the LA metro area that can make a custom tip for the boxster?

I put an exhaust off a 2003 S on my 2000 base and it was a straight bolt on mod!

In 2003 Porsche made a mod on the S exhaust that made it much more throaty without the resonence, I am very happy with it.

Got it off eBay for $200 with buy now.

I think the single is going to stay on mine - It's just a great design. I WOULD like to paint the black rubber bumpers on each side of the license plate however...or get paintable replacements. Anyone do this?

Do a search - I remember a few posts or threads on this and I also think someone on this board has offered to do it....

I changed my muffler out for a polished muffler off of a "S" model and love the looks. I also had my bumperette's painted. Rather than take the chance of being a labeled a poser, I just shaved the Boxster emblem altogether. I even changed the tail lights out for the 550 tail lights. Some think it's too much red, I don't really care. My car, my taste. The "S" muffler has an ever so slightly deeper sound to it that my stock muffler had. If you think that you'd like it better than what you've got, then you should change it out and not be concerned about other opinions. Your money, your car.....and what a car it is!
