Looks and sounds great...

Time for an exhaust change so I went with the JIC-Magic / CROSS exhaust. Just to clear the air, I have no affiliation with Cross or their exhausts. Took about an hour start to finish and was the easiest exhaust installation I have done. I purchased the exhaust off that auction site, and it wasn't cheap, but I liked how the pipes looked and there length. I really didn't know how they would sound but I was willing to take the chance. They arrived quickly and very well packed. The exhaust bolted right up like no other everything matched up perfectly no tugging, pulling, or bending. Started it up and the sound is amazing somewhat calm idle but as soon as you get into it sounds very aggressive. As far as resonance I haven't driven it with the top up but seems to be very little, and I know resonance having installed a GHL. I always figured the length of the pipes had a lot to do with resonance and these seem to have the most pipe length of any boxster exhaust and that sold me on them. I'll post a couple pics and I'll try to get a sound clip...

Nice looking install. Do you notice any seat-of-the-pants power gain? Though I am curious, I went to their site and did a search under Boxster and it indicated they have no product that fits??

Seat of the pants seems way better, but who knows. There is still one on the bay, I'm the one that bought the other.

Happy Boxstering

that sounds great! nice little burble on idle, not obnoxiously loud but just enough raspy-ness. plus it looks great. sounds like you got a fantastic setup there.

thanks for posting the video!! this is how i get my thrills now, vicariously, since i've been boxsterless for two years now

can you report back after driving for a while? I am especially interested in knowing if you experience any resonance or any obnoxious noise. This system you installed seems to be a great option, now get Pedro to send you the 3.8L intake system and remap the ECU for you ....sweet!
