I have a question, the American 986 Boxsters have 4 catalytic converters, 2 of which are connected to the manifolds, in this case is there any possibility of knowing which one is faulty? I'm in this situation, with the check engine light active and I don't know what to do nor do I know how to solve the problem.
That’s no Boxster S. Not even a 2.7, but an earlier 2.5L. Please confirm. ECU reads O2 sensors (pre-cat and post-cat) from primary catalytic converters on exhaust manifolds, which are clearly not present.
Please do not use those aftermarket catalytic converters, they will cost the engine a lot of performance. Use old or refurbished originals. Never those aftermarket ones. I did that and had work time and money lost.
Respect to the person filming. Not an easy task on this job.
A harder job than actually doing the work?
Very well explained and very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
You made that look simple. Thanks
Great video! Would it be an idea to angle grind the flanges off or should that be avoided? Thanks :)
Great suggestion!
where does the post cat o2 sensor plug in?, cant find the connector

We don't know enough about the USA models! Sorry...
My exhaust clamps look like they were discovered in an archaeological dig 😂
Power tools make most of it look quite quick and easy - apart from those wretched flange studs.

I'm doing this exact job on my 2.5. Mine only has 2 sensors, not 4.
I'm sure they know what they are talking about.
They have 2 catalytic converters only in Europe, in America they fit 4 due to the more restrictive pollution regulations
