Default Stebro Exhaust

Has anyone had any experience with Stebro exhaust on a Boxster or otherwise?

No but if it's the same Stebro I keep seeing on eBay then it's overpriced I can tell you that much.

Default What do you base that opinion on?

Do you have any experience with that company?

I agree with that statement. Which is why I've had a difficult time convincing myself to go with PSE.

Not worth it,for a 'racing' exhaust. If that's what you want you pay a shop to gut your OEM muffler and install two pipes from the inlets to the exhaust pipes and it will be 1/2 the cost at most.

Agreed. I made something just like that for less than $200 in parts from Summit racing. What a ripoff.

OMG look, two $50 resonators $25 in pipe and two tips at $50 so $175 in parts, two hours to weld so another $150 and two stickers $10. Lets see in tota $335 (being extra generous) and a sale price of $975. Honestly that exhaust is worth $250 the way they make it.

Apparently the everyday JOE is paying for their racing.l

On top of it being over priced, that thing looks like it would resonate like hell.

Not to mention there are no bars welded on the rear of the muffler that should hang onto the cats as the OEM muffler does, for a more stable/secure connection, and the tips don't even reach out to the end of the rear bumper. They're too short. LOL
