If you have the headers off of ebay, then I assume they don't have catalytic converters built in them (like the fabspeed ones). I think that means that you don't have any catalytic converters at all - correct? Are you getting a Check Engline Light?

This is correct, I am not currently running any cats. I had my ECU reprogrammed to eliminate the use of the rear O2 sensors, thus no CEL.

SRQ,

What year is your Boxster? And what engine?

Are you running 0 cats now or 2 now?

Do they require periodic inspections in Florida? If so, any concerns about failing emissions with no cats?
