boxster engine and transmission exhaust system both boxster models have an exhaust system featuring a separate tract for each bank of cylinders the exhaust is fed into a silencer unit consisting of two linked chambers before exiting the rear of the car the stereo lambda control governs and monitors the banks of cylinders a series of four lambda probes one before and one after each of the two pre-catalytic converters provide separate monitoring of the gas composition and catalyst performance since a twin-tract layout generates less back-pressure than a conventional exhaust the system has a positive effect on both power and torque other benefits include a significant improvement in the car s powerful acoustics on starting at idle and across the entire engine speed range ignition system the static high-voltage ignition system features separate coils on each of the plugs as a result there is no need for high-tension leads which are a frequent source of faults all six coils are directl
