What year is your car? 2.5L cars don't require anything extra when switching to headers. If you have a 2.5L then it's a piece of cake. If it's a 2000 or newer good luck.

That's one option, but who will do it? The dealer wont. You're not required to do anything....you'll just have a solid CEL on all the time. I've even heard of some people putting tape over the light. Outa sight, outa mind kinda thing.

My suggestion is don't put headers on the car if things like CEL's bother you. You can try messing around with 02 simulaters, relocation of 02 sensors, or ROW flash. The first two options don't work most of the time. The 3rd option is the ROW flash. Don't know much about that because nobody outside of Porsche dealerships that I know of has access to this uber expensive tool and if they do they are not advertising ROW flashes.

No problem, sorry it wasn't the answer you were wanting to hear. As far as I'm concerned there is no easy way around this "problem." If you find anybody selling ROW flashes let us know about it.

Is there such thing as headers that fit a 2.5 TIPTRONIC? My particular car is a '98.
