If you stop and think about it, Jake did answer the question, but just not in absolute terms you seem to need:

"You'd have to be in my position to understand the flack that gets started when a discovery is made and shared.. Gathering the data scientifically without variables being imposed is hard enough, dealing with the people after it happens is unbearable.

Lets just say if you like to sound like you are going faster than you really are, then you'll love most of the after market systems."


I know how I read that, but your interpretation is up to you.............

JFP, you are correct that it's not enough information if you are trying to decide which exhaust system to purchase.

Jake, I'm not in the market for an exhaust, and can sort of read between the lines on oil selection, they were just used as examples. The thread that aggrevated me was when you suspected the cause of many (most?) IMS failures, within a certain RPM range , but failed to elaborate. That information wouldn't give Porsche or any parts suppliers reason for litigation, but could help people like me greatly. As with many, that failure is my single deterrent to Boxster ownership.

Again, I'm not trying to be a jerk, just trying to minimize my risk in owning one of these (mostly!) wonderful cars.
