Hi blinkwatt,

These Headers for 97-99 Boxster 2.5L don't have O2 sensor seats, for 97-99 model is direct bolt on. Thank you !

does this mean you can still use the original cats on the 2.5?

I did not change out my stock cats, which contain both sets of 02 sensors.

...and while we're on the subject of sensors, the new headers and exhaust did NOT throw a CE light.

What about non 2.5L boxsters though? Your car has one set of cats, 2.7s and 3.2s have 4 cats and one pair of cats are attached to the exhaust manifold..they contain the 02 sensors, not the main cat. By putting on headers on non 2.5's you essentially get rid of the pair of cats that have the 02 sensors. Where are these sensors suppossed to go?

Hi yfz/700R,

These Headers are direct replacement for the stock manifolds with no modifications, but you need to verify to see if your Boxster still have the stock cats.

mr. Randall apart from the dyno results did you actually notice a big difference in power on the street? the reason i ask is because i was considering ordering a system for my 2.5 and being in california i would probably have to R&R the stock exhaust every 2 years for smog
thanks

The "butt dyno" feels it a little. What is noticed most is the sound.

Adding the headers alone won't give you the sound. Now what I did not try was the exhaust alone without the headers to see if the sound was the same. I'm thinking it will be quieter with stock headers because there's just less exhaling happening if that makes sense.
