Ok - you did dynos and used Gunther, I'm believe you.

I was supposing this was another Butt dyno claim, and I get so tired of folks who say they got 21HP out of muffler X on a Boxster.

The 996 engine block is made out of a different alloy than the 986 engine block. External component similarity aside, these are different engines.

So what did you get from your RUF.

In the world of mufflers, my favorite phrase is ... "Show me your dyno"

Not the dyno in the ad ... "Show me your dyno"

HA!

I think the front is OK and a disaster from the doors back.
Ugly intakes, slashed fender lines to the tail lights, bulgy fender weels.

I'm trying to reserve judgement until I see it in...

This morning was a balmy 34 degrees w/ light snow - my first top down drive in 3 weeks

(The weather hasn't been always too cold - I was on vacation for 2 weeks, then sick).

Boxster Racing Board generally LOVES Gunther's work.
IMO a chip by itself isn't worth the 1-3HP gain in part of the powerband. Unless you are willing to go at least intake/headers/chip you might as...

Re: Just bought my first Boxster!

Welcome Jeff

Track days are a lot of fun so you might hold off on selling the track equipment for a couple of months while you think of it.

If you decide to go to a Drivers Education(DE) day,...

9,000 miles for rear 18" tires sounds about right for Pirelli PZeros if you have an S, though some folks get them to last a little longer. The worn in the center looks more like an over inflation...

Dave,

Just wanted to say hi & welcome.

Hollowspoke turbo wheel is only about 25% lighter than the TurbolookII than came on my 02S. The 5 spoke Carrera is probably closer to 10% lighter.

Re: Wheel fitment questions. Width and offset.

You don't NEED 18x9's for 235/40 or 18x11's for 275/35. And compared to the .5 inch narrower standard Carrera sizes they are much less common, so it is possible NO ONE has tried this combo on a...

If you have PSM - it might be the PSM light blinking after it saved you from spinning :D I've never seen my CEL, but I've seen my PSM do the 10 second blink more than once.

When my new car buzzed - I took it to the dealer.
When I got it back it didn't buzz.

Why mess with it yourself when you have a warrantee and several close dealers?

If you are replacing the rear trunk mat, there is a cargo net option. I don't have it, but I understand it replaces the 'floor' of the rear trunk with a new 'floor' that has hooks.
