Check with the board sponsers to the right. I've dealt with Wheel Experts, Wheel Enhancement, Speed Gallery, GMG, Wheel Boutique and Lucent. You won't go wrong with any of them. Vivid is in Arizona but they offer very good pricing on the parts they ship.

yep, all those are good sources. Only thing I wouldn't do are the bypass pipes.......very loud. Chips might not like that.

good luck.

I would also not reccomend the cat bypass pipes. I had them on my car for just a few days and couldn't stand them. They were very loud and annoying. It just didnt sound "porshe like".

The videos I have heard of the muffler bypass pipes sounded pretty good though. I am slightly regretting not keeping those and putting them on instead of the cat bypass.

I now have the agency power exhaust and factory cats.

I wouldnt get just springs... Bilstein Pss9 with some upgraded sways and a short shift kit are a nice "feel" upgrade rather than hp upgrades

Also you left out what is probably my, and a lot of others, favorite mod. The B&M short shift kit. Its really inexpensive and improves the "feel" of driving the car so much. Shifts are really short and crisp. It is a must do IMHO.

I would suggest the PSS9's...the other stuff in my opinion is not needed...you may get a 20-25 hp boost, but thats not a big increase on a 300hp car....the PSS9's...you can do exhaust for the sound, but dont expect any hp increase....shift kit....then you will have a better feeling car....

miniporsche is on a distinguished road
Do you track your car often?
If not go with the H & R springs with a set of bilstein sports shocks.
Have your computer chipped with reputable vendor, BMC air filter and any after market mufflers and you're all set for 20 hp gain.
Don't forget the B & M SSK..it 's awesome!
You're more than welcome to check the sound of my PSE if you're in the southbay. Just pm me.

PSS9s are better in the street and track than H&R's and Bilstein Sports....You will get smoother ride, better handling, and the ability to adjust your drop to YOUR liking and adjust your ride quality to YOUR liking....I did springs and shocks on my Boxster and HATED IT....I LOVE my PSS9's...rides better than stock lowered on my 19's....

I have the H&R springs and sport shocks on my 02 and love the way it rides. Miniporsche likes them too. Newport prefers the PSS9s. AsianImage has the M030 and likes his ride. There are some who swear by the X74 kit. There are a number of ways to go, you have to decide what works for you.
