I purchased with the note that it was a 2000 S 3.2L w/4 02s. I got a model where it had only two 02 bungs. The fittment and craftsmanship was exceptional! My problem is the model only came with the two 02 bungs and its almost like I need longer 02 wires to connect the proper 02s, and where are the other 02s supposed to go? I have for a year now been trying to figure out what needs to be done to get the other 02s on the car as not to be running a check engine light. It seems that from your last post you are still in development with these headers. Did you sell me the wrong ones, did you sell me an unfinished product, or is there something I am not doing correctly? If its a simple new bung placement that would be good but for now I have a good sounding improper running boxster. I have purchased other products from you and been happy this is not to flame your company but I really need to get to the bottom of this can you please help?

Exhaust set-up: Che's "3.2L" headers/ Fabspeed mid pipes/ Che's "S" exhaust.

One of the loudest meanest sounding Porsches I've personally heard and that it is up there with GT series 911's. This set-up is loud! I love it! Real nice tone and throat.
Hi mn box s,

The Headers I've sold in past are for 2.7/3.2L except I've made a specific notes these Header installation will need to add additional 2 more O2 Sensor Bungs, this is the reason I'm working on the Headers to be made with 4 O2 sensor Bungs to simplify the installation. I'm assuming the Header are installed and you re trying to find out to eliminate the CEL correct ??? If yes, please PM me direct.

Thank you !

Che

Can you post a sound clip by any chance? (My apologies if someone already has---this thread is getting awfully long to wade through to find out, but I'm thinking that no one has.) Is the resonance not particularly bothersome?

I don't have sound clips but there on this thread.

I have the exhaust so I'll chime in;

-MEAN sounding,nice and throatty when above 3.5krpm

-resonance in the 2.5k-3krpm on the 2.5L engine (have yet to install it on my 3.2L)

-resonance is annoying but to me,it's not annoying as people make it be. With the top down(which happens 10 months out of the year) I think very little of the humming sound,especially when I'm blasting the radio

-Seems my 2.5L gained a tiny bit of pep in the upper powerband

-Get this exhaust,drive underneath a tunnel and try telling me it doesn't sound amazing.

hi all. new guy here.

i just installed this exhaust on my 3.2S. great sound, actually not to loud at all, which is what i prefered. it's tough to quantify, but it gives good tone at all rev ranges without being obnoxious at all.

however, i do have the dreaded resonance/drone at around 2300 - 3000 rpm, and i REALLY want to get rid of it. you never realize how much time you spend in that range until you have resonance there!

searching the internet, it seems like there are a few potential solutions:

1. adding a cross-pipe between the mufflers. b&b uses this sort of design. since i don't know how their mufflers are designed relative to mine, i don't know if that would work, and it seems pretty invasive/risky.
2. adding a venturi into the pipe right after the cat. hmmm... that could be a relatively cheap/quick thing to try, although i haven't found one yet that's 2".

any other solutions you folks can think of? the droning isn't terrible, but it's also not something i want to live with.

thanks!

By no means is this an attack on Deluboz but I am just curious, I came across this on 6speedonline. Is it just me or do all of these exhausts look identical and how can Deluboz claim that his exhaust is his exclusive design? Just curious

http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126488&highlight=maxspeed

These appear to be IDENTICAL to the eBay exhausts, which are the chinese exhausts sold and rebranded by TopSpeed Auto, Delubozparts, Maxspeed Motorsports and many others.
