I am puzzled. Are you saying that you are running straight pipes, no mufflers, no cats?

I agree; I think that's what he's saying (straight pipes). I had a friend that was building a spec Boxster 2.5 and left the exhaust straight...the car was extremely loud at the track...can't imagine it on the street. He eventually fitted a muffler, since it was causing db issues wherever he took it.

This guy is in San Jose, CA. Don't you get shot there for running no cats and no muffler?

If it is SP, then, no he cannot get the car past emissions. Clearly, that would be a no-no in CA.
I smell potential BS here.
Perhaps.

I am running completely catless with stuff in my sig below, but have oem PSE muffler with butterfly valves in the open position.
Car sounds amazing and when you hammer the throttle and get it in the 5000+rpm range!
A friend of mine heard me coming down the hill towards my neighborhood the other day and made the comment to me that it sounded like a race car... He owns an '89 911 coupe and is a porscheophile to the hilt.

I only took off the mufflers, as for the sound I will get on that asap, weather here in CA is not as sunny and beautiful as it use to be!

Would love to hear what this sounds like.. Maybe I'll have them take the mufflers out of my Borla.

It sounds like an F1 Ferrari, huh? 
Glad you're happy with it, though.

I almost forgot, when I ran with Chin Motorsport in August, a friend of mine showed up with his 03 Boxster S with straight pipes. Is it loud? Well, yah!! if you want I have a utube vid following him for the warm up and first lap. I could only hear his exhaust, I have headers and no cats with a loud borla on mine, but his exhaust definately occupied my ears. lol Here is the link if you want to hear straight pipes
