I havent looked at the airbox, or the design of it, so dont bash me. In my Z3, the air box had tubes in it, so I cut them out, and added a 6 inch length of 3 inch tube from the airbox to the front bumper. What im saying is, when I cut out all that restriction, it gave me tons more torque up high, does the boxster have any unneccesary baffles that could be eliminated to have a higher flow design?

I don't think the airbox has many unnecessary baffles in it, but the mufflers sure do. One race shop in SoCal makes a crazy sound with mufflers by opening up the muffler and taking all the junk out - opening up the flow as much as the stock pipes will allow.
