Maurice, after reading your link, I will definitely not be changing the stock headers, thats for sure.

Many Thanks, Mark

Mark, we have a 98 986 that had the baffles removed. It sounds great! Simple job...a local Porsche shop dropped the OEM original muffler cut the top off and removed the baffles then welded the top back on and reinstalled the original. Let's just say you HEAR this car now before you see it. I LOVE it..the wife well lets just say she likes it when I get past 2700 RPM. I also use the standard stock air filter and I have had no issues. I will be de snorkling mine as soon as the weather permits as we dont drive it around in downpours.

It you have any questions let me know.

Yes I would be interested to know exactly how it sounds because I'm not after an over the top deafening rumble, lets justs say, something that will turn a few heads when you put your right foot down. You could hardly send me a video or sound clip by any chance? My local exhaust specailist would be able to do this easily I presume?

Thanks, Mark

That kit looks interesting, where can I get it from?

I think I will have a go a de-snorkling aswell, although I am having real trouble getting the intake covers off the car

Thanks for the advise and comments guys. I must admit that after the past few days researching this and talking to a few other people that own boxsters, I too, have came to the conclusion that the stock air filter is the best solution because of the MAF and fouling issues associated with the aftermarket filters. I think I may just install new stainless headers and an aftermarket muffler if I want a deeper sounding boxster.

Thanks for your help,

Mark

Hi, I have recently purchased a 1997, 5 speed manual, 2.5 Boxster, RHD (in the U.K) and I want to upgrade the stock air filter to make the engine sound a bit more throatier/deeper. I have read about the Evo high flow air system but I do not want to spend that much money on an air filter incase its makes little difference to sound. I have also seen cheap K&N and other branded replacement panel filters, but I do not really know what to go for.

Any Help and/or suggestions would be highly appreciated

Thanks, Mark
