Which is why I didn't take many of you seriously and still don't sometimes, because it seems as if a mod doesn't yield substantial gains, you (again, not you in particular) deem it not worthwhile.
Not that some mods aren't total crap because I know many are, but you get my point. It's a difference in opinion.

What mods are there that give you ten discernable horsepower for $1000? I can't think of any! 10 horsepower for $1000 WOULD be a great deal on a Boxster. A full exhaust system will cost you three to five grand and net you about 10 to 15 horses.
The argument is more "you're not even getting what you've paid for", rather than "you're spending too much for mods of measureable worth". The mods in this price range are generally debateable. If you want REAL horsepower as opposed to "placebo" or "maybe" horsepower, you have to pony up, so to speak.
