2.7L Mods

Racer Troy, you are going about this in a much more organized fashion than I did, but your estimates of numbers are what I have found as well. The mods on my 2.7L Boxster are still in process, I am having a final remapping of my AutoThority chip, hopefully next week. I will run a dyno on it when it gets done.

The mods I have done inclued a TTP intake, TTP headers and Cats with a stock muffler. I am also using a AutoThority ECU chip. The car is running great, but the dyno shows it is running a little rich over 5K, so the chip will be remapped to take that into account.

Car sounds great, and is quite responsive with a very flat torque curve from a little over 2K to redline. I am seeing 202 HP and 169 ft/lbs on the dyno which works out to about 237 hp and 198 ft/lbs at the crank (figuring a 15% loss). I expect to pick up another 5-10 hp when the chip gets remapped for my intake and exhaust.

When the dust settles, these mods are going to end up costing me about 200.00/HP, so they are not cheap, but I have been having a great time messing with the car for the last couple of months, and it runs like a dream...... at least so far.....

Send a message via AIM to blinkwatt
*I tracked someone down through eBay feedback who had purchased the headers & exhaust from a different seller but from the same manufacturer as where "Che" buys his parts.

I sent;
"Hey I was wondering how those aftermarket headers and exhaust are holding up on your Boxster. I'm looking into the same parts to put on my 99'...."

I received;
"Actually the muffler did not fit at all unless major modifications or custom brackets..then my mechanic thought the headers were ok but they dont seal properly and one side leaks..so we are taking those off...I am going to get a dansk muffler and the schnell headers...I would stay away from these knock off products...."

I edited out a couple of sentences that weren't related to the headers & exhaust.

If anyone else has bought these parts and installed them with a bad/nuetral/good expierence please let us know. Knowledge is power.

Hi blinkwatt,

First of all how can you be sure that other seller used the same manufacturer source ?? Can't judge the Book by its cover. Of course theres other manufacturers had the same ability to produce the same products but not necessary same as mine. This is very Long forum Posting maybe you had missed from the beginning, as I stated very early in my Posting these Exhaust & muffler are manufactured from my family operation. I've been working very hard to proved the Exhaust & Header in this forum,by providing actual results & feedbacks from members of this very own forum. Looks like the other seller are not competant enough to take care of defective product & caused a Unhappy Customer, as I had confidence to Offer Full Refund & fitment Guaranteed for my customers. Just want to Clearify, after all your intention is Cool. The more informations provided would benefit everyone in this forum.
