I persnally wouldn't pay, why waste the cash and give up a good weekend project. Boxsters are easy to work on.

Thank you for the information and the encouragement. Based on the photos of the Stebro, the u-tubes are used and remain attached to the cat. But, I was told that it's easier to remove the entire stock exhaust at the point where it attaches at the double wide bands. Is that true, or am I getting bad info.? I wasn't planning on jacking the car up, but it sounds like I might have too. Is it possible to do the exhaust swap with the car on the ground? You guys have a lot of info and experience, this is good...

I usually use ramps, though in a pinch I've done it basically on the ground. Not a lot of room to maneuver like that.

Unbolt the band clamps where they attach to the u-pipes and the cat outlets, and slide them inward towards the cats. Then unbolt the muffler and it basically drops down. Piece of cake.
