my cats are cooked

[Perfectlap]

looks like I'll need some new cats asap. Good thing I'm leaving for a few weeks and won't be needing the car. The CEL came up and it's driving like a bannana in the tail pipe (not quiet as bad as Beverley Hills Cop though).

Any advice on keeping this cost to a minimum? Does this usually spell curtains for the muffler too? I'm considering the Dansk unit ($1K). I think they're an OEM supplier to Porsche and this is one of the rare no drone units in the aftermarket.

If it is the cats, one way to keep the $$$ down would be to check with LA Dismantlers.

PS Buy the titanium bits before you even begin, trust me..

These will work as long as you don't live in commiefornia.

A lot of the Boxster Spec guys have removed cats during their race car build so you might find some good used ones cheap.

I have a set of 30k catted headers from an 03 S sitting here, that you are welcome to.

As to the exhaust, the cats failing will not cause any ill effects to the exhaust, and you can pull the headers without removing the midpipes or muffler.

I'd read every thread you can about headers before you do em' Schoir is the man on header knowledge. Time-certs make great thread repairs, no repairs is far sweeter.

Cheapest route is to just replace the rear cats with those $500 Fabspeed bypass pipes. Or else, buy some used ones off of someone who installed those Fabspeed pipes. Unless the cats you're talking about are the forward precats on the headers.

I have the Dansk exhaust, and like it...although I got it years ago for $750 when Departstop was still in business. No drone, but not as loud and aggressive sounding as a GHL or PSE.
