sorry fanch but your wrong on this one (believe me ive been going at this subject with my dealer for the past 2 months)
btw the sound files are from the same car as in the pics, since the 03SE is revised, you cant really tell the difference by looking at a car without getting under it as you could with the MK1 boxsters (which i agree w/ you was really ugly and strange).
here is evidence:
the bypass pipes are tucked in differently, the manufatuerer for the SE is the same as for the MK1 exhuast
here is picture evidence:
Eisenmann (STUTTGART) is the manufactuer:
OLD SE:
NEW SE:
(note the new exhuast tip)
NEW SE Pictures:
as you can see, the bypass pipes are now tucked under the pipe that goes from the catalytic converter to the muffler
here is a pic of the old SE for reference:
getting this installed on my car next month along with 15k service
hope this clears things up with all the 03 and onward Boxster owners...
