I have a 2000 Boxster 2.7L Manual. Bought it with 71K on the clock and vibration at 3000 Rpm it was quite loud in gear out of gear accelerating braking always the same, since then replaced all motor mounts which dropped the noise to about 30% also later the water pump as this was starting to fail and contributing to the vibration noise. Now I have 77K and still the vibration, I have added the exhaust bracket with no affect. Garage says next think to try is the DMF $3000 and no guarantee it will work! Anyone any ideas? Spark Plugs, exhaust system, crank shaft bearing?

The vibration that occurred during acceleration went away when the DMF was replaced. (The dealer told me mine had a crack in it (?).) The vibration that occurred when the engine revved at about 3000 rpm was repaired by the additional muffler support. OK, explain this one. 00 Boxster, bought at 25 K with extreme 3000K vibration, replaced DMF...no change. Engine died at 95K, thats bad but at least I get rid of the vibration...yes and no. New engine(same DMF) was smooth as silk for the 1st 5K on the new engine then it cam e back but not quite as bad. So that rules out the exhaust bracket and all other drivetrain with wear. All Boxsters I have tried since have one form or another of a vibration except fot the S. I think the the engines have balance issues. I am driving mine until the wheels fall off...currently 149K.
