"Those" cheap cat bypass pipes. Where to get?
 
Hey all, I'm refreshing the exhaust system on the Box, and while I have apart (new Che muffler), I want to also replace the Che cat bypass pipes I installed like 15 years ago. I noticed one of them, the angle isn't quite right coming off the header, so it's rubbing on this "tab" thing on the transmission.. not seeing an easy enough way to correct that, and don't feel like modifying the tab thing on the transmission. I recall these being fairly cheap (like $200 or so) when I got them originally.

I'm scouring ebay, but can't find a set all of a sudden.

Does anyone know of a current source for these? Wouldn't even mind getting the side "C" pieces as well if there's a set of those available cheap as well.

(2000 2.7L base - so no linking to $5k fabspeed packages lol) :cheers:

I still have my stock headers and first set of cats. Are these the same thing that I have on now? (cat bypass pipes as I knew them to be called)

I have the circuitwerks ones. Google for their website

Cool! Thanks for the recommendation! I ordered their set of “test pipes” and some new “C” connectors.

Question: these are the ones I ordered (https://circuitwerksusa.com/products/00-04-porsche-boxster-986-2-7-3-2-straight-test-pipes?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=e43705460&pr _rec_pid=7204250124485&pr_ref_pid=7204252090565&pr _seq=uniform)

My current ones don’t have the 02 sensor bungs or the brackets on the side. What do those mount to?it says these will connect to my stock headers.

Also they say they will connect directly to the stock C pipe pieces, but in my current ones I have this little extra 8” or so connector pipe between the test pipes
And the C pieces. Will this setup eliminate those extra pieces?

That's what I used. I replaced my secondary cats with them. They connected to my stock exhaust manifolds and exhaust without any modifications.
