It will be smarter for you to sell your base Boxster and buy a 2000 Boxster S for like 15K.

Makes a real 33 more HP and low end-mid range torque you can really feel.

The price difference will set you back the same as a full blown Fabspeed exhaust system and the difference in how the car FEELS from the seat of your pants is going to be dramatically different.

0.5L of displacement is hard to miss.

Sell your car for 12.5K, buy a Boxster S for 15K.

Makes sense to me.

3.6L Exhaust Development

Jake, do you have any data or have you done development work on headers for your 3.2 to 3.6L converstions. If my 2.7L dies and I go to a 3.6L I will definately need headers tuned to the 3.6L engine.

We have been gathering this for a while but should be done after the next two 3.2>>3.6 engines are completed and tested over the next month or so.

When offering something as outside the box for the engine we have to also tune the intake and exhaust side of things to meet the requirements of the design changes.

To date the off the shelf offerings have been working well, but we know there is more to be found with specific developments.
