Exhaust for Boxster
bengalfan - Friday, 17 February, 2012, at 9:57:19 am
Will an exhaust for an "S" fit a base Boxster (part #996 111 141 05). I have a 2000 base.
Thanks for putting up w/ rookie question.

... depending on the model year of each one you may need a different bracket to hang the bumper.
If you're handy you can either modify the one that comes with the muffler or just fabricate one yourself.
Happy Boxstering

The only difference between the S and base mufflers are the exhaust openings. One has dual pipes and the other does not, everything else remains the same, assuming the S-muffler you're buying is for the same model year group (2000-2004).

I went back to my original muffler because I like the sound better...

That's great! I've been looking at Borla. The price for the 2001 S muffler is about 700-750 or so. The price for the same muffler for the non S is over 1600!!!! What the heck is with that? (Supply and demand I suppose) If the S fits the base then I would obviously the S model for half the price.
