The guy I know with the 3.4L conversion had a full exhaust (extractors/cats/muffler) made or customised by Starr Performance in Melbourne. I'm not sure if his exhaust setup is the same that they would usually recommend for a standard 2.5/2.7/3.2 Boxster/S.

I've been in contact with Starr Performance who were very honest with me and advised that the exhausts that they have for normal 2.5/2.7/3.2 986's DO NOT provide any performance increase, just a much more aggressive sound. This is in contrast to the race exhausts they do for GT3's which do provide additional horsepower.

I'd be interested to get an idea of some ballpark costs for the turbo kit. I must admit though I have some reservations as to how bulletproof the 2.5 engine will be when turbocharged. I also haven't come across any feedback for the Turbowerx kit, so am unaware how good/bad it may be.
