The carbon fiber part yes, the plastic flange no, it'll be slimmer and better looking

My question is, can I change the headers, cats & mid-pipes, plenum, throttle valve and air box without sending the ECU into protest via check-engine light? My plan is to retain the stock outward appearance and not compromise practicality. If it's possible, I'll commit, if not I'll continue to live with the strangled 250HP.

Yes you can do all that without a tune and without getting a CEL.
Install cheaters for the secondary O2 sensors if you're going cat-less, that's all!

I've done a little research on the mods I posted about earlier. It looks like all of them are a long slide for a short gain; headers & exhaust for $4000-ish for 6HP, intake mods for $1000-ish for 6 more HP and a tune for $800 for about 6HP more than that. 18HP is a lot but $6000 is a lot more than that. Can anyone share their experience with these upgrades? What's the seat-of-the-pant dyno results? Should I just leave it alone? There has to be something- or a combination of things - that softened the potential of the 3.2 S, the specific output is considerably lower that other models of the same era.

That's a crazy high estimate for those particular mods. Divide it by four-ish, perhaps even more if you buy used as I had suggested to you earlier here.

To illustrate further, here's another idea for your consideration: http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-cayman-parts-sale-wanted/73389-sale-fabspeed-200-cell-986-header-%96-new-never-used.html

By the way - Out of respect for Ben's thread, you would be better served to start a new thread on your topic, rather than to continue to be off-topic here. You will likely gain a lot more traction and interest.
