What would be the best way to spend $5000 or less on a boxster?

IMO, the underpulley mod truly makes a difference in how fast the car accelerates or "winds up". It's pretty simple to do as long as you don't muck up the case when you shave the aluminum to accommodate the pulley. I love the headers too and actually think they could be louder, however, if you're going to do the headers you must be into the possible adventure involved when one of the bolts snap.
Header + pulley + new belt & bearings can be had for less than 500.00 if you negotiate the headers on flea bay. My best advise is, drive it a while first, then you will have a better idea of your personal priorities. Besides, after you own it a few years, the mods and personalizations are what make taking it back out each year seem more like getting a new car, good luck.
