Better sound in terms of louder and more aggressive, yes . As far as more hp is concerned, again we're talking about small gains with an aftermarket catback alone.

I have a 2001. I put in Dansk exhaust and power chip. Very happy with the sound and performance. Sounds better with no drone at low rpms. I would definitely choose this option again.

I went through two stock mufflers to get rid of the rattle. It was NOT from the cats. My mechanic says the Boxster mufflers are know for this.

In regard to you aftermarket mufflers, I went with a pair of Hushpower DBX mufflers. They are of "moderate" sound level. The sound can be a little annoying with the top up between 2500-3000 rpms but over all I'm very happy with them.
