Exhausts:Fabspeed or GHL?
I'm going to be purchasing a new exhaust for my '02 S. I was hoping I could get a pointer or two as to which one is best for the Boxster. My boss is running the Fabspeed Maxflow on his GT3 and it's very nice. So, if any of you have experience w/ one , or both of these, please let me know what you think.
PS- I will not be doing headers.
Thank you,
velvet_jones

Fabspeed uses a dansk exhaust for the boxster. It is a good system. GHL products tend to have a really good sound, but their collector design is poor, and performance suffers.

It depends on what you want......................
I went with the GHL on mine after checking out every exhaust avail. for the Boxster. The GHL fit the price range. I felt no loss in power, but a gain. The Fabspeed on the video didn't sounds so nice IMO. On the Carrera, it sounds great, but the Boxster not so good. I heard the GHL was a 10/10 for bad ass sound. I think the GHL sounds awesome.

This shouldn't be too hard of a decision. It boils down to this. Go with the GHL if you want a very loud and noticable difference and the Fabspeed(AKA Dansk Sport) if you want a more subtle and less intense sound increase. By the way, neither will give you an actual hp increase just incase you were wondering. However, you will swear it is faster because it sounds louder!

I'm going to do the fabspeed 2nd cat bypass first since it's less than half the price of a new exhaust. It suppose to be louder and add a bit of hp. My shop ordered it and it suppose to be in next week. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Haha, sorry, just thought someone might want it before it goes in the trash. If you hold on to it long enough, you can get 35 bucks for them on ebay. Not really worth the effort.
