987 Boxster 2.7 - Sports Exhaust - Anyone Done it?

[L888DER]

I currently have a 987 Boxster and did a lot of driving over the weekend with the roof down. I love the howl from the flat six and wondered what it would sound like with a sports exhaust. Anyone undergone this operation of is it not worth the money?

I know it wont souind like my Exige did but want it more aggressive or is a boxster the totally wrong car to have an aggressive exhaust profile?

Just had a switched PSE fitted to my 987 S and sounds great, burbly at low revs then a deeper note than standard raising to the trademark yowl as the red line closes in!

Im buying one of those exhausts from e bay, Oettles Tuning Shop. Guy welds bypass pipes from the backbox to the tailpiece similar to the PSE but it sounds much better.Theres a video clip on e bay.

Cheers Roy, I might just have to get me one. I'm an ex-TVR man and I do miss the noise.

Just to let you know Roy Keane on my profile name is Sunderlands Manager where im from im called Phil hehe. Yeah no problems im hoping to get it bought and fitted before my hoon down to the south of france in a few weeks. They do sound well though dont they...

No idea how to do a sound clip and the other one does sound good but I would say the PSE one is a more cultured sound and you can turn it on and off which is great on long journeys at motorway speeds...

[TOENHEEL]

Yeah PSE is nice to but maybe a tad exspensive and i have to admit easier to live with on long journeys. But being young i like the loudest best ha.

If you go on www.essentialstyling.com and click on boxster then sports exhaust..near the bottom there is a soundclip of the PSE.

Hi Phil, Yes they do sound good. Only had the Boxster a month, once I'm back from Le Mans I will look into upgrading the exhaust. Thanks for the other link.

No problem buddy

i would imagine turning it on or off comes at quite a price? Also anyone had performance air filter fitted? 911 design want £699 for filter ?

My PSE was £1k, fitted and with switch. Bought when i bought the car though so that was 'a deal'...
