Headers and exhaust on 2000 boxster s?

[Dlirium]

At the end of the day, these cars "are what they are". You can eek out a few ponies with an under drive pulley (UDP) and exhaust mods, but honestly - they don't make THAT much of a difference from a performance standpoint. It's not like doing mods to a nice Chevy V8 :-)

You're 20. Put the extra $ into the looks (wheels, suspension) if you want to personalize. Save for a more powerful car if you want more HP. :-)

+1 Dlirium. +1 Cris.

You might also consider spending some bucks on reliability, like water pump, drive belt, etc. (I did not say IMS. I didn't, I didn't, I didn't...) :dance:

welcome to the forum 2000986s
I also have a 2000S and made a few air flow upgrades. Fabspeed sport headers/cat, Fabspeed secondary cat deletes, and a Jetex muffler. The sound is a huge improvement, as for the horsepower gains...slightly noticable, but not worth the capita invested(if you were going for the HP gains). I do not regret the upgrades though, because the glorious sound it makes now, Justifies my exhaust expense

I'd recommend doing some research of a few exhausts before pulling the trigger on any upgrades. With that said, +1 Need_for_speed for the exhaust breakdowns!
