Boxster console Options

[partwerks]

Anyone have any pictures of what has been done for a console that works with the 6 speed Boxster setup?

If I use the Boxster console, looks like I would have to somehow patch in where the electricals were, and the handbrake.

To get it to set back far enough, I would probably have to cut about 3" off the bottom of the center backpad, but then may not be able to open the console door, or take a section out of the length of the console. How easy is it to mend it back together and make it look like something?

Also, will the factory rear sway bar, fit if using the 6 speed boxster trans?

I have a custom tunnel frame and console but the same idea would work: all you need is a shifter stand that puts the lever where you'd like it. In my case, it's up a bunch and fairly close to the steering wheel, in terms of fore/aft.
This is a Numeric shifter with their cables, which in this case are stock length. They offer shorter or longer, or at least they did.
I opted to run the cables exposed, running on top of the console. IMO, it fits the vibe of my build.
Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, I was limited by the length of the cables. I wish I could shrink them a couple inches, but need to drive it to see how it feels.
I did put this gadget in the shifter: http://www.function-first.com/products/eng...-right-solution

If I could have used the 987 cables, I could have used those shifter ends they make, but those cables were about another 3" longer yet.

I would imagine there is someone out there that could make a custom length cable?

I don't have access to making my own stuff, and have to do like most people, and hire it out.
In a perfect world, if a person could do all their own work would be cheaper, and would be more in control of your own work, and no blame game.

The mufflers are going to be the next hurdle. Not much room. Any suggestions for mufflers?

I have no trunk floor so I had more options but my current set up would likely work, in terms of the muffler location (ignore my headers!).
I used the Boxster muffler mounts at the back of the trans and made up a mount/hanger that supports each muffler.
I have the CAD file for all of this and could make you a basic mount "frame" that your local shop could tweak for your use. You pay for materials and shipping.
PM me if that could be a help.
