yeah you are going OEM to OEM. So what difference there is will be so tiny it wont be much of a difference. So unless your old mufflers were thrashed...and/or you got nicer tips...it aint going to help too much.

I have change my exhaust a few times. You do not need to remove the rear bumper. Its pretty easy.

I find the Boxster is easier to work on than most cars. I dunno maybe I am crazy.

So touch it...mod it.
