I just got that installed last week. I am waiting for the ecu to be updated and then back to the dyno!

I will certainly post the dyno numbers for a nice before and after comparison.

So what was the mechanism of failure?

It must have been installed correctly at some point, otherwise the engine would not have lasted 62K

What could have caused this seal to deform?

1. Yes this is the exhaust from engine out the back, headers, mid-pipe, mufflers.

2. There are no cats. The ROW (rest of world) tune does not monitor the second set of O2 sensors, so no CEL. I...

No. The RHD-LHD header difference is confined to front engine cars where the steering shaft/exhaust interference changes depending on the orientation of the steering shaft.

A brief background.

I have a 2000 Boxster S. The prior owner overheated the motor and cracked the head. TuneRS in Coral Springs pulled that motor and installed a '01 3.2 which they had built for...

Correct as to your second point.
