So, does a short shifter affect the warranty? What kind do you recommend?

if you would like the warranty, you can get the original Porsche short shifter, I have heard that it is the same as B&M short shifter.

I bought the B&M short shifter kit in my CS and it made a day and night difference.

Exhaust noise and engine boise must be great, since they basically sit in the cockpit! Hows the road/wind noise?

I installed the Porsche OEM short shifter, it made a helluva big improvement, and at the time at least was the only SSK that came complete, so you could return it back to 100% original if you want.

If you have a Bose stereo, I recommend stuffing the sub w/ pillow stuffing (and cap it if you can). It will make your bass sound a lot tighter for only a few bucks and a little time.

Ga, the exhaust on the Cayman is much louder and visceral than my stock s2000. I would say it is louder that the S2000 even after I installed the HKS. You know almost exactly where you are in the rev range at all times. Road noise is relatively subdued, as it is a coupe, so is wind noise. Wind noise dissuaded the wife from the Boxster S.

Nich, taking some pics tomorrow at the beach. Thanks.

Chris, we need to chill for a month on anything related to vehicles. I am certainly into a SS though. Anything to get the shifter closer to the S2000.

to say that the s2000 and Cayman are in anyway similar is to miss the big picture

I'm guessing you don't see the big open sky from inside a CS?

If that is his intention, he must hate the 350z coupe and S2000 that are so often compared, unless price is his only focus.
