Need CA cat & cat back exhaust for 2000S
Cats are shot on 2000 S, failed smog test. Most cats I see on internet are '49 state legal' (i.e.: not CA). I'm looking for a bolt on solution as I have no experience welding. I'm a DIY guy, and will consider header, cat, cat-back replacement to gain HP, but don't want to spend $$$$ for 10 - 20 HP gain. Suggestions?

As a FYI datapoint, my 2002 S just passed smog in San Diego, with secondary cat eliminator pipes ;o) Measured was a fraction of allowable. The tech (thorough, but his first Boxster) gave up looking for vacuum hose check etc. when I explained you have to disassy the car to get to the engine compartment. He just plugged in, ran the dyno, and passed me.

How do I know cats are shot.
Professional mechanic assessment (German car specialist) after check engine light came on.

I just put bypass pipes on my 2000 base model. Still good. Not sure if these would work on an S of the same year, but I'd let them go at a reasonable price as they're not needed now.
