Sucks! Do Not Buy Schnell!

The short shift kit is making a very strange
noise during shifting, sounds like the shifter lower
metal part is striking the circumference of the
housing especially on gears 1, 3 and 5 the noise is
very annoying and to be honest terrible.

To be honest I should of purchase b&m instead of saving me a few bucks, dont know how to correct the issue and now I lost money in the process....

This is just based on my limited personal experience doing mods to my 2000 2.7L Boxster. Go for the ECU tune and wheels if you are after performance increases. I found a 15+ hp increase by going to ECU tune and intake. I would be careful with messing with the exhaust system unless your primary goal in a different sound.

So far my experience has been that the performance increase has been very modest when going to headers and high flow cats, maybe 4 hp on the dyno (went from 199 to 203 hp), and the exhaust mods are very expensive, have fun,
