For completeness, early (97-99) Boxster's only have a single cat that is installed down stream of the exhaust header and before the muffler (not integrated with the exhaust header).

Deleting the single cat on an early Boxster will result in emissions test failures every time.

Get the TopSpeed or eBay muffler. They are durable, sound great, and are an excellent deal compared to much higher priced alternatives.

+1 ^^^^ Contact Che at top speed, he usually gives a 986 Forum discount. Get the cat delete pipes also and the EZ seal clamps and you will have a great exhaust with little to no drone. I honestly don't have any with mine.

+1 concerning Che. I've done business with him in the past, and he is great to work with.
