I would say, Cars are different from one boxster to the next, even if its the same year and model. All cars react slightly differently from one to the next. While 1 boxster may gain 1 or 2 unnoticible HP, another may lose 1 or 2 unnoticible hp.

I wouldnt deny the fact that you gain HP with the right Intake Header and exhaust combination.

Thank you all for saving me money. I probably need all I can get to buy gas this summer anyway. We will run stock this driving season and revisit mods/or not.. next fall. Looking forward to a season of top down driving fun.

I had my car for 3 days before I desnoked it. It was sweet. Ive been good, wash my car all the time (but am careful not to shoot water in the vents), drive in rain, and all kinds of other stuff. I couldnt ever think of putting it on again.

taking it off makes a very nice difference in sound, but after putting my intake in(which requires desnorkeling) the sound is probably 10 times better than desnorkel.
i already figured i wont get much power from this engine, so the sweet sound was what i was after and no regrets whatsoever, i love it and recomend it to anyone who has like 3 hrs of free time

And $400, give or take. Which seems to me to be another Porsche tax when you look at what the same parts cost on Hondas and Subarus.
