I have deleted the secondary cats without a problem to the O2 sensor on my car, and I believe your as well, has all O2 sendors on the headers before and after the primary cat.

The bypass pipes are cool, neat sound and maybe a little more power.

I have the cat back bypass pipes from fabspeed they are great. No cel at all havn't gone for smog check yet I have a bud that does smogs they turn away most Boxsters cause they cant access the engine so when its smog time visual shouldnt be a prob. The o2 sensors are in the front cats no worries. I would recommend the bypass pipes the exhaust sounds so much better and there is some performance gain at least I can feel a difference.

Next are the headers from fabspeed. I had to have my manifolds welded up already I guess its common for them to crack. Anyway it was alot cheaper to have them welded then get new ones 2500 is alot of bucks.

Do you have any idea what your going to gear it towards? Your being way too vague for us to give you an idea.

There are so many out there available with different price points, looks, finishes, etc. I don't know why you'd want to make your own unless you just like doing that and can save a few bucks.

Is it just me or does the fabspeed demo suck? I'm talking about the first video with the exhaust on the car revving and driving by. It sounds almost stock quiet and it seems to be making a funky sound when they are revving it at the beginning. I would not plop down almost 4k from what I've heard in that vid. Hopefully it sounds much better in person? Anybody actually own this particular system on here?

I would buy the fabspeed in a second if it sounded like this boxster.

As far as the custom exhaust goes, I think you're opening up a pandora's box of engineeering problems/ frustration. What do you hope to gain that a 1st rate exhaust manufacturer has not? There are so many options of ready made exhausts, I cannot see why you'd want to take the project on. At the end of the day, I highly suspect you'll be over the cost of a new exhaust by the time you figure out how to make yours do what you want it to.

As for the FabSpeed, the rear muffler is actually made by Dansk... can be had from Dansk directly for much less $
