Exhaust system.
The exhaust system – with t win
tailpipes on the Boxster S – is
made of stainless steel. Until it
converges in the connecting tube,
the exhaust gas is channelled
through t wo separate tracts and,
thanks to separate exhaust gas cleaning systems, the exhaust
gas can flow more freely – for
increased power and torque.
The stereo lambda control
circuitry controls and monitors
each cylinder bank separately.
For each exhaust tract, four
corresponding oxygen sensors regulate the composition of the
exhaust gas and monitor the con
-
version of pollutants in the cata -
ly tic converters.
A sports exhaust system – for a
more resonant sound – is avail -
able as an option for each of the
Boxster models.

Servicing.
Every Porsche is designed with
durabilit y in mind. On the Boxster
models, this is reflected in the
lengthy service intervals. The alternator, power steering
pump and the air- conditioning
compressor are all driven by a
single self-adjusting belt. The
drive chains on the camshafts
and intermediate shaf ts do not
normally require servicing. With the sole exception of the
spark plugs, the ignition system
is also maintenance-free.
So your Boxster remains where
it belongs for as long as possible:
on the road.
