No issues at all. I have now driven approximately 600km and no issues at all. I used the old sensors in their respective places (before and after the CAT's).

Here's from my previous post regading the connectors and extensions.

"Here's the part numbers I used to hunt the connectors:
Bosch 1-928-403-453
Bosch 1-928-403-736

Each cable needs one of each plug.

I purchased these from UK, since I'm in Finland (no customs etc issues) - at least untill the brexit kicks in
Here's the link where I ordered those both connectors:
https://www.auto-click.co.uk/1928403453
Same can be purchased from all continents.

On top of the cables I have the white 8mm heat resistant sleeve. This size fits real well ove the wires."


...and the actual post for the same:
What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Hopefully this is helpful

I'm still a bit confused. I installed headers and 200 cell catted midpipes today and the rear O2 sensors are too short. (NA spec 2004 986.2S (3.2) model). I'm afraid that if I splice in additional wire, the resistance won't be correct and I'll get CEL. Are there longer O2 sensors available that will connect? What are other people doing to run the post-cat O2 sensors on NA vehicles?

I've been running now two weeks and approx 900km with post CAT extensions as seen on the image with not a single CEL on NA spec 2001 Boxster 2.7.

The cable I used to make these extensions is 18 gauge or 1mm size automotive wire (RS Pro 1225866 - 1mm).

Just picked up a set of eibach lowering springs. Not sure if/when I'll install them. I just finished installing Boxster S struts and springs. I think I'll ride around this summer on those before I decide to put the lowering springs in and try them out.
