Edit: It looks like your car falls in the 97-99 range judging from you car pics. You would probably be throwing a check engine light then.
I have a pretty strange problem. I removed the cats and the car ran fine. Then after making a different repair I unhooked the battery and reconnected it and the car started misfiring on all 6 cylinders. Both Porsche shops I've taken it to have told me that the problem is the removed cats and that I have to do something with the rear o2 sensors. And yes the check engine light is on.
