Some pitfalls others have faced with aftermarket header/cat/exhaust so just a friendly heads up:

Serious droning resonance at 3k rpm
Continuous CEL issues.
Cannot pass state smog inspections (not street legal)
Headers made contact with nearby PS lines, car caught fire and burned to the ground (yes, several Boxsters have gone car-b-que after installing headers)

Pay attention to the details.
Thanks I will see If I can get that torque curve up. It definetely feels like it needs more torque especially at lower rpms.

Also, it is a street legal setup where I live. there are no smog inspections and I am still run CATS.

Thanks everyone for the help.
