The Boxster promo book that was issued when the car was first introduced ('97 model yr.) described the Sport Touring Pkg. as having everything from the Sport Pkg (CD w/upgraded sound, 17" wheels/tires, cruise, wind deflector, alarm system) plus trunk mtd CD player replacing in-dash player, on-board computer, and an "appearance pkg". The appearance pkg consisted of gear shift/handbrake in aluminum/leather, aluminum sill plate w/logo, aluminum instrument faces, aluminum color rollover bar, and a "large oval tailpipe". I thought they all had a large oval tailpipe, so I don't have a clue as to what the special one was.
In any event I expect the Sport Touring Pkg on a '98 was probably the same.
It wasn't a cheap option, listing for over $6700.
