Has anyone put one on a type IV? It looks to fit with little modification.

Do a search on it, there is someone in NJ I believe that did. The car is a really nice silver with good craftsmanship.

That car has a 3.6 and is currently listed in the classified section. Beautiful car. The boxster muffler is big, it could be done but would require modified headers etc i would think.

couple more. I will be adding mesh grills on each side of the exhaust in the rear valance to help the engine heat escape. I made the valance lower to cover the exhaust more and it gives the car a lower appearance. I have heard that the shorter the valance or lack of helps to keep the engine temps down but I like the looks of the lower valance so I hope the vents work satisfactorily.

The valence looks nice. Thanks for the pics. How does it sound with the 4 cylinder? I am lookiing for something quiet with a low rumble.

Exactly that. It is pretty quiet and has a deep tone. I have not driven it at road speeds yet to determine overall sound but have driven many true boxsters and like their sound. I figure volume wise the two cars are similar even though the boxster is a 6 cylinder. The boxster this came off was a base 2.5 liter and my car is a 2056, so not that much difference. Performance wise it may not be the best choice but that is not my ultimate goal. Sound looks and comfort are my main priorities. I hope to have the car completely done by the end of the year so I can start enjoying the car next year.

A muffler that makes it look like a vagina on the back of your teener... Nothanks, I'd rather go with a 2-in 2-out setup. or 2-out banana muffler.

Wow! For $60 has anyone looked at cutting one open to see if the inlets could be moved to the front of the muffler and hook directly to the heat exchangers instead of all the work Zambezi did to turn the exhaust to enter from the side?

The listing on german ebay has been reworked to fit the heat exchanger. I opted for local to save shipping. I actually like the look, but more so the sound that I should get from the setup.
