that spec boxster exhaust sounds great.

I also think the vid online of the NHP system sounds pretty good too.

I have a pedro style bypass exhaus ton mine, and it sounds nicer than stock, but it is .. to me... a tad raspy and not quite deep enough. I think to get the sound you're looking for - it's more the MUFFLER and not the cats. you need a diffeent muffler.

i'd suggest looking at a set of headers with hiflow cats - and then add a set of bypass pipes and new ehxaust. the downside is that there's NO cheap way to do this...

Fabspeeds system will set you back a LOT. Even the NHP system, which is far cheaper, is still probably about $2000 for that setup....

when you figure that the average 2.5L boxster is only worth $10k or so - it's a LOT to then spend 20% of the cars value on an exhaust......

it's expensive to be cool.....
