Exhaust Upgrade?

[unklekraker]

hey conrad..here's what i learned after I got over the HP Mod bug...the most that i will gain are 10 hp unless I will go all out and feel the difference w/c is engine swap and it will cost $10k and the most important thing that i learned is..
-Invest your money on D/E
-Go Autocrossing
-Sign up on next Thunderhill
*hopefully someone will chime in in regards of the 3 above

It's all worth it...by doing this, you will really feel and learned what your Boxster is made of!

i haven't done any of those 3 but will AX next month @ Monster Park and I know some boxster owners who've done it and hearing what they would say about it makes me want to forget about adding mods

x1 for Bruce

I'm sorry, D/E, AX? I'm new here so I don't know all the acronyms yet. Hehe... So seems like bottom line, don't do anything to my car that does not cost 5 grand or more, or else suffer "check engine light" problems and the like...

Man, I thought this was going to be easy. Guess nothing good comes easy.

DE = Drivers Education
AX = Auto-X or Auto Cross (Racing on a cone course / not at the track)

Suspension modifications are the best bang for the buck if you want to go that route. I came from a Subaru WRX which was, compared to the Boxster, highly modifiable for power gains, so I know where you are coming from. But the truth is that these cars just dont gain power that easily and in the end it ends up not being worth it.

DE and AX or regular Track Time are some of the best mods you can make since you can carry them over to whatever vehicle you are driving. All in all in the automotive modification world improving your skills will always be a better mod than anything you do to your car.

im sorry, mah bad aren040 is right! I give up my ongoing search for HP untill I do the 3 I've listed *the best mod ever*

and yap..it's not going to be easy..hehehehehe! I think we should have like a support group for Mod's bug recovery

I have the GHL Race Exhaust, and while it sounds absolutely intoxicating above 4k, it has a pretty resonance between 2k and 3k whic is rather irritating. I didnt add the exhaust for power, I just wanted to be able to hear the exhaust, but now I am looking for something that doesnt resonate.
