Kevra,

Yeah I don't understand, 4 hours, that is just unacceptable!

I just installed mine myself and the quality is great, definitely lighter than the stock exhaust. If you are expecting a major change in the sound, you will be disappointed. While it is louder, it is still very subdued which isn't a bad thing, just depends what you are wanting. Personally I would still like a little more rumble, maybe after I add some headers.

The butt dyno did detect an increase in hp but that also could be psychosomatic. All in all you will be pleased with your purchase even if the customer service is lacking jk

On all 2000+ boxsters the pre-cats or warm up cats right by the motor are eliminated with all aftermarket headers except Fabspeeds which are a header with high flow cats.

Che, you need to bring a Fabspeed header knockoff to market and sell it for half the price. You'd probably sell a ton if you can make something like these. As you probably know, all the bungs in the world won't prevent a CEL from happening unless you have some cats.

He doesn't mention if the 4 bung headers will cause a CEL or not. My guess is they will. I guess we'll see once somebody tries them.

Yeah, it probably will. In layman terms the sensors that were aft of the cats will sense too much pollution and think your cats are not functioning properly so there's a good chance it will trip a CEL light.

Hey Che, Any plans on offering secondary catalyst bypass pipes for the later cars that have two converters on each side? Im sure you could make a nice product and still undercut the other options by alot! Thanks
