Lack of 987 aftermarket support

[eslai]

So wow, it's been almost a year since the car's introduction and I have yet to see any viable aftermarket for the 987. Is this common for Porsche or does the aftermarket just really ignore Boxsters for a number of years? Seems like the 997 got a bunch of parts almost immediately!

Not that I really want to trick out the 987--maybe an intake, maybe an exhaust. I'd still like to see some parts though!

The 997 was lauched 6 mo before the 987. Give it some time.

eslai, there was a great post a couple days ago from nastyboxster regarding the muffle by-pass pipes for the 987. The thread is in the "Performance Talk" area of the forum. Check it out. The audio clips are awesome!

I don't think total sales have been enough to have a huge aftermarket market yet. Not only that, I assume it takes a while to develop and retool the manufacturing plants. The only item I am waiting for is a way to hardwire a MP3.

Re: "Give it some time"

No really, the 997 started getting parts REALLY fast! I'm surprised it's taking so long for the 987.

Right, those are the fabspeed pipes, and that's like the only thing I've seen so far. However, their construction is lacking, IMHO and I'm hesitant to consider them a viable option. It also doesn't help that they never returned my email inquiry.

Yeah, same here. I've been bugging Dension to get their MOST Bus version out but they're taking their sweet-ass time!

Eslai, what is "lacking" about the construction of Fabspeed? Please elaborate. Thanks.
