What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

It was no trouble at all. I jacked the vehicle up the night before and soaked everything down with PB Blaster. All the bolts came off without any difficulty at all! Huge win!



I'm struggling to figure out the rear O2 sensors. The pre-cat O2 sensors were no big deal; I just unbolted the mount, broke off a tab, rotated the mount back about 45 degrees, and reattached. So the pre-cat sensors are in place as before.

BUT, the 200-cell catted mid-pipes place the post-cat O2 sensor so far back that the wire for the factory rear O2 sensor is too short to reach the connector. I unbolted that connector from the block as well and I'm going to look "up top" tomorrow to see if I can loosen anything on top of the motor to get a bit more slack in the cable, but I'm thinking I need a longer O2 sensor. I'm afraid that if I hack and splice longer wires into the sensor my voltage won't be right and I'll get CEL.

What are other folks doing to accommodate post-cat O2 sensors on catted mid-pipes?
