I would start with the top speed cat delete pipes and go from there. Depending on what your goals are it may satisfy what you're after for a lot less than a new muffler. They certainly wake the stock exhaust up a bit, at least on my 04 S. I'd personally like a little more sound but for the $150 I spent I can't complain. The fister looks ideal since I like the look of the stock tips and it's very cost effective compared to some other systems. Only issue is that I'm Canada so shipping a boat anchor of a muffler to Cali is cost prohibitive for me.

Can somebody name this $100 muffler? I considering giving it a try since its so cheap. Is it worth it? Will it likely be a drone king?

Chuck , I've got the Porsche PSE on my 2000S , the valves default to open but they never seem to close . they are connected to the vacuum valve and that is connected up to the loom in the boot . What makes the close ?

Good question. I am not sure. They are operated by vacuum so your system may have a leak. Sorry I can't be more help.

I've known 4 Boxster owners who've had the GHL muffler on their car. 2 sold them and put the OEM stock muffler back on after experiencing the drone. One removed it and installed the factory PSE instead, and the last one kept the GHL and just learned to deal with the drone. I think the GHL muffler sounds the best of all the aftermarket mufflers, it's just too bad it drones.

I have the GHL muffler and it certainly does drone 2k - 3k RPM. Easy solution...stay above 3k!

Its kinda scary how spot-on information can be on this forum. One of the hanger bolts is in fact broken, its all there, just broken. No biggie and I gave him $125 without question as otherwise its in pretty good shape. He was in a silver 99 base that looked severly neglected (I die a little inside whenever I see that) but a nice enough guy. Said it was just too loud for his taste. This is just an experiment for me and worth the price of admission to try a different sound. Ill update when I get it installed, thought maybe this weekend but Ill have to wait and haul it into work Monday to tig the hanger bolt.

Thanks for all the input guys.
