Hello new guy here. Always on the 6speedonline forum but figure that i will start surfing 986 as well because as of today we have a brand new 03 speed yellow boxster S in our garage. Yes it is brand new being last in the inventory and we got a good discount on it so my dad figured he will pick it up for my mom (not for me.)

Car have the following options

Color wheel center crest
sport seats
psm
trip computer
18" narrow spoke carerra rims
hid
clear front coner lense
painted bumperettes
Bose sound system

Pics soon to follow. Just a few question for you guys though i already looked at some of the other threads b4 i ask this.

I know that some are saying that GHL exhaust sounds better than the Fab Speed, but what do you guys think of the Super Sprint exhaust? I saw their web site and they have hp rating proving that their system actually works. Well just seeing for more opinions.

Will changing the by pass only make the boxster sound louder? It is just way too quiet right now.

I also heard that changing the intake to the Fabspeed one or Evo will cause the map sensor to go bad is that true?

Lastly can any of you post some pics of painted rear roll bar body color? I m thinking of getting those painted. Is it very hard to take them out? My mother don't want to leave the car inside the body shop because she wants to enjoy driving it. That being said, is there a way i can do it myself so i can throw it to the body shop without the car staying in there? Please give some advice thanks.
