For those of us who live in Kalifornia, where do I find the CARB approval for the sport cats which are now part of the system?

In my County, during our smog inspection for the older cars, there is a visual inspection, before you you on the dyno. The smog guy is supposed to look under the car.

Darn, the video doesn't include a full rev-out while parked. That's the money sound

Ok guys, I stayed late and put the exhaust on tonight. It sounds great! Installation was by far the easiest boxster exhaust I have done. It is a small can (narrow and long), versus the typical wide and bulky dansk, cargraphic, etc units. I had the cats and dansk muffler out in 15 minutes, and the rest of the muffler took me about an hour to put in. I would say for a first timer, this is about a 2.5-3 hour job, but very easy. I forgot the camera sitting on my lift though, so I will get the installation writeup up tomorrow with pictures.

Please let us know whether or not you have a resonance. I'm actively looking for an exhaust for my Boxster, but I can't tolerate any resonance.

I had a GHL on my '99 Boxster for less than a day before I got sick of it.

Whew...well, it better sound VERY good to overcome that kind of unsightly view from the rear. Looks like the muffler can and metal straps holding it are in plain view, not just the exhaust tips.

Well...one would expect that, since the shot was taken from underneath the car.

Do you have a shot from the rear with the car down?
