New to this thought I would say hi
Hey all. Thought I would put up a quick post as I'm new to this.
Bought my first porsche 5 months ago.
Hoping to find some ideas of some mods to do.

You've had the car for 5 months. That is long enough to get to know things a little. What would you like to mod?
Give us some areas to focus on and some constraints.
This board is pretty good about spending other peoples's money...

Very pretty car!!!!!!
I would pull the snorkle out today. I did mine last week in 15 minutes. It sounds much better and it's free.

Congrats. And a car pic after only one post! Give this man a gold star.
What's it cost to fill up the tank with petrol these days?

Don't you lose the signature Boxster/Lear jet induction sound? I don't think I can part with that, I already have an exhaust so loud it lights up all the toll booths.

@The French Dude - Nice growl at 3000-4000rpm and at start up. I feel a little extra pep in my step but it may be all in my head. I'm happy I did it, sounds nice and its free 
@Perfectlap - Everything is business as usual until you hit 3000-4000rpm. Other then that the signature sound is intact.

Very nice! I have the same wheels. How do you like the Milltek exhaust on the box? I had one on my TT and was very happy with it.

What is this snorkel you all remove?
The exhaust sounds really good gives it the extra sporty sound. Can be a bit loud on the motorway but I don't drive on there often.
