Hi there,
I have a 2001 Boxster w/ 81,000 miles. I recently had a p0430 code. Ouch:-((( I am out of warranty.
I also changed the MAF sensor last week and reset the codes and so far no CEL.
But, I know that the code might come back and I may need to get a new catalytic converter. I don't know anything about cats. So what would you recommend I do? When I looked for a new one online, I get huge variances in price (for direct fit - don't even know what that means to Fabspeed $$$$$).
My birthday is coming up in 2 months and if that's the cats, I have to fix it, I am SOL!
Thanks
Bob
