Performance Exhaust and Header for Boxster

[Wingnut2u]

By no means is this an attack on Deluboz but I am just curious, I came across this on 6speedonline. Is it just me or do all of these exhausts look identical and how can Deluboz claim that his exhaust is his exclusive design? Just curious

These appear to be IDENTICAL to the eBay exhausts, which are the chinese exhausts sold and rebranded by TopSpeed Auto, Delubozparts, Maxspeed Motorsports and many others.

I do believe you are correct they seem to be a little diffrent than the Chinese exhaust. I'd say they are the same as the Topspeed. I think he changes very little just enough as not to get in trouble as a copy. I own this exhaust and headers for the 3.2L. I can't remember where (wish I did) but I came across the original stuff one night surfing the web. When I had the stuff sitting in my house before I put it on my car, and it was identical. The prices might make you second your thoughts $2,100 for headers and $1,900 for exhaust. The quality on Che's is remarkable and he does sell a lot of Topspeed. I know that it was a perfect fit and I have had no problems with the flange on the headers or internal issues with the exhaust. (over a year) I'd buy his and not the other ones... Hope this helps.

Well since I work only 2 miles from Deluboz I decided to stop by and check it out for myself. What I discovered is that Top Speed and Deluboz are one and the same.

The staff there is super friendly and I decided to buy a 986 exhaust based on the customer service and the positive reviews here. I am looking forward to being able to hear my new toy.

I ordered one...and from the time my paypal cleared to the time I had shipping confirmation from Che was four hours. Rediculous! What kind of service is that - four hours? Next thing you know he'll be installing it for me as well.

I tell you NOTHING ships in four hours, and I buy a lot of things online. Since I'm already comfortable with the quality from what everybody else has said, this aspect of quality customer service is what makes for repeat business. As I told him, when you come out with a set of rear cat bypass pipes to add to this configuation let me know.

Believe me I'll complain loud when something is wrong, but I also let it be known when something goes right - and this has been a good transaction so far!

Kevra,

Yeah I don't understand, 4 hours, that is just unacceptable!

I just installed mine myself and the quality is great, definitely lighter than the stock exhaust. If you are expecting a major change in the sound, you will be disappointed. While it is louder, it is still very subdued which isn't a bad thing, just depends what you are wanting. Personally I would still like a little more rumble, maybe after I add some headers.

The butt dyno did detect an increase in hp but that also could be psychosomatic. All in all you will be pleased with your purchase even if the customer service is lacking jk

On all 2000+ boxsters the pre-cats or warm up cats right by the motor are eliminated with all aftermarket headers except Fabspeeds which are a header with high flow cats.

Che, you need to bring a Fabspeed header knockoff to market and sell it for half the price. You'd probably sell a ton if you can make something like these. As you probably know, all the bungs in the world won't prevent a CEL from happening unless you have some cats.
