Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I am new to the boxster S, been used to driving M3's and other bmw's. I didnt have a problem with road/wind noise before but now I do. Has anyone done sound proofing on their boxsters? I was thinking about doing dynamat on the doors, hood and trunk area. Any other suggestions?
Was also debating taking the seats out, removing the carpet removing the door panels and sound proofing the entire car from the inside, any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!
I do not think you would see a measurable improvement by adding all that sound-deadening material. It is a convertible, it is inherently noisy compared to the other vehicles you listed (non-convertible with engine in the front).
"Lexus Mod"...
hehe
thats funny

Sir, the sound/windnoise is one half the joy of owning a Boxster. (I'll refer you the the song by Rush, Little Red Barchetta). If the noise is that bothersome, put the top up or drive the Cayman or a Lexus. For the past few days here in Michigan we've had30-45 degree temps. I"ve had the top down and heater up for all of them.
LIVE!!
Really not a helpful bunch of answers thus far. Look guys, the noise problem in Boxsters is not the wind, but a deep exhaust rumble. I myself don't mind it, as long as the trip is not real long, but I really like to have the wife along, and it's a really penetrating noise for her.
As far as my Lexus sport convertible goes, yes it's fast and much quieter, but a Boxster is leagues beyond it in handling. That's why I have both...
I love driving with my wife in the car, only time I can have her with me and she doesnt talk.
As said the stock muffler is probably too quite for most.
