Hi everyone. I'm brand new here. Actually, I'm brand new to forums, but a friend of mine suggested this would be the best way to get advice.
I recently bought a 2000 Boxster at 64,900 miles. I have driven it for a month and it now has 67,400 miles. (yeah, quite a lot of driving on my part). Anyways, the engine light came on, and turns out I need to replace BOTH catalytic converters and FOUR O2 sensors. Dealer is charging $3000 for parts alone. I can only imagine what service will be. Now, the deal is, if I'm paying that much, can I get an aftermarket product that won't blow up my engine or anything like that?
Am I covered under warranty at all? Are there any performance exhaust systems worth looking into for the same price range?
Any help on this would be awesome.
