boxster exhaust too quiet?

Is it just me or has no-one else done the just as quick de-CEL mod? Seriously, taking OUT the CEL involves popping 2 covers off, taking out 2 screws, lifting up the cluster (pops out of clips) and turning the CEL bulb a quarter turn to remove. This can be done in 15 minutes, it's free, and you never have to look at that annoying CEL that turned on because of O2 sensors, MAF, etc.

Oh wait, I know someone is going to flame that I'm turning off a warning light that will tell me when something is wrong with the engine. Since 1996, when most cars added this annoying "feature" that is basically for the benefit of the dealerships, my CEL has never detected something that I couldn't feel or notice by driving. Often times, the CEL won't come on but the car will run terrible. Thus, MY CEL is my brain and seat of the pants. Also, I have an Autotel for when a car really does have a problem.

Just my 2 cents.

Or just fix it properly.

Ditto, it is that annoying CEL that actually motivates me so hard to fix whatever the issue and extinguish it with my Autel as soon as possible. I hate CEL with passion but killing the light will not do it for me... why not knowing a (potential) issue right away and fix it before it becomes a bigger issue?
