Here's a pic of the stock Porsche manifold that che's headers replace and all the others on ebay like his. If you remove this manifold with one without a cat then a CEL is likely. This is why companies like B&B don't make headers for 2000-04 boxsters. They know it will cause issues. The 2.5L guys however are in the clear and don't have to worry about all this stuff.
oh i see!! thanks for the explaination. so the secondary cat ( by the muffler ) is save to remove and replace with test pipe... but there have to have a cat by the exhaust manifolds... i see...
