The mod absolutely does not sound rice...the exhaust is louder (especially coupled with a sport exhaust) and emphasizes the mid range tones starting around 3600rpm.

Keep in mind, all you're doing is removing the secondary (read redundant) set of cats. I'm sure there is some cold start reason for these, but I really think it quiets down the exhaust for EU standards. I've never had a problem, CEL or otherwise since removing mine.

Chris, would Suncoast Parts be Suncoast Porsche? If so, I doubt they'd sell cheap knock-offs. If just an eBay seller, who knows? In any case, I hope you get the problem resolved so you can enjoy your car and it's wonderful sound.
