I can only give my experience wrapping headers on my old Integra. I'm sure the results would be somewhat similar with the boxster headers. I did conduct before and after temp tests with and without the thermal wrap, and there was a slight difference in temperature output. The only somewhat downside is, after you wrap your headers, don't even bother taking it off if you plan on selling them or to showcase them because that nice stainless steel look will be long forgotten. I didn't have a opportunity to do any type of dyno test to see if the wrap helped produce any power gains.
