ClemsonBoxster

I got the bypass pipes from Fabspeed. I was charged 2 hours or Approx $200cdn for the Evo Air intake by a Porsche shop. 1 hour or $100 for the bypass pipes. I recommend the Air intake done by a Posche shop or someone who has done it on a boxster before, but the pipes can be done by anyone. Make sure you get a firm quote for the intake since the actual hours spent by the shop was closer to 5 hours.

With regards to the muffler, I got the Borla by default. Someone just purchased it at our local club and said it was too loud for him, so I got a deal on it. I was going to get the fabspeed one. It depends on your taste for the sound. The Borla is very loud and have low rev resonance, but it is very sweet when you rev it up. The Fabspeed is quietier, but don't know how much. The Borla is cheaper and lighter.

So far, I've gotten a lot of complements on the sound, especially on the track.
