Finally got a Boxster S!

[tawheed]

Hey,

After owning a plethora of cars I've finally arrived at what I've always wanted - a Porsche. Initially, like many uneducated people I did not consider the Boxster at all. After owning two S2000s I really wanted a 911. All I could easily afford would be a 996 C2. I decided to drive an 03 986S and fell in love. I picked up my 2002 986S with 32k miles last Friday. Though I swore I would not mod it I'm looking at a few different exhaust options to make it sound like what a Porsche, in my mind, should.

The two I'm considering are:

Borla - Lots of information and some sound clips available for these, I'm not worried about drone as I never drive with the top up

or

FVD Brombacher listed at http://www.fvd.de/us/en/Porsche-0/Boxster_986-13-41/-/-/item/item_details/VID_14878580-VCD_92820622-gid_30-sort_4-display_50-item_BES98605000S/EXHAUST-Tuning-Muffler-BES98605000S-Sport-Muffler-%26quot%3BBrombacher%26quot%3B-986-S-Boxster--%28Sound-Version%29%2C-Stainless-Steel%2C-2x90mm.html . They have a clip of a similar one on a Cayman S and it sounds spectacular. Anyone have any clips or feedback of this exhaust on a 986S?

All information will be highly appreciated. Pic attached from the drive home.

Thanks,

Tawheed

Congratulations, Tawheed. Looks to be a fantastic purchase. I got my MY00 986 back in March and am in love with the car maker. My dream car is currently an MY07-MY09 Cayman S. I've done some looking into different exhausts and am a huge fan of Borla. Makes me giddier than a 12 year old school girl at a Backstreet Boys concert :drive: Enjoy the new ride.

I had the same experience. Drove a number of 911s 993, 996, 997 and then decided to try the Boxster, even though my friends told me it was a girly car. I felt that the Boxster S has the best combination of old school 911 feel and modern technology. The 996s and 997s that I drove, while more powerful, felt like touring cars. There is no question that the Boxster is the better looking car and if it had the same power and size tires as the 911, it would crush it in every respect.
