No question Porsche went to great lengths to maximize performance while minimizing cost (reality). There are no parts on any Boxster that were not deemed vital for the function they performed, or they would be eliminated for cost. Induction / increasing volumetric efficiency in the intake is a big deal. The flared inlet and ~5 degree increase in diameter in the part pictured below screams "minimize turbulence and transition to laminar airflow" to me, which of course, increases inlet mass airflow. The car may not not sound as cool to bystanders, but a modest increase in performance might be anticipated.
