Puzzling to me, last Summer during my road trip, the CE light came on. Back home, the dealer diagnosed as needing both Catalytic Converters replaced ($7K). No way I am spending that on a 22 year old car, even a Porsche, with 159,000 miles on it. I had these replaced in 2016 by my independent. I don't see how they would both fail at the same time. First start-up this year, no CEL. Driven now over 50 miles with several stops, and still no CEL. Maybe the OBD-II is going bad?

50 miles is not necessarily enough to trigger the CEL, it has to run several cycles. If the problem persists it may have thrown a fault code already, just has not triggered the CEL yet. You can test the efficacy of the cats yourself with a Durametric or similar tool. I use a Foxwell.
