Have you ever tried going completely catless ? I have. There was a significant loss of low end power, not to mention CEL"s galore, along with the fact that the vehicle would not pass emissions/inspection testing.. I've spent considerable time (and money) over the years experimenting and testing various exhaust configurations for the 986 boxster. And, I can assure you that there is no easy or inexpensive way to improve upon and gain power over the oem system . I suggest that you gather some actual experience on the topic before making any more sweeping assumptions
