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...
