Not sure about a complete set of 4 cats. I can tell you from recent personal experience that used cats are highly valuable, even very old ones. Three weeks ago I got home late Friday from a business trip to Northern Virginia. I started my 1988 Toyota pickup and I sounded and ran terrible. Somebody hacked off the original catalytic converter! Toyota dealer estimated it was worth at least $50 scrap value for the platinum and palladium. As the economy has deteriorated, the price of precious metals has skyrocketed in the past few years and catalytic converter theft has become big business. The good news is anyone removing their cats can get a lot of money for them, and Porsches are low enough to the ground it's extremely difficult for someone to get under there and steal a catalytic converter Thanks for the tip, but i live in Guatemala, so i think is goin to be hard to sell them. Any way I´m thinking in eliminating the secondary one`s (pre muffler) I have an account on Ebay, so i will try to put them on sale there Well, good news, I finaly did the job (pay for that), and elimnated the secondary cats. 1. The sound got troatier, its a litter bet more high, nothing anoying. I really like the sound. more sporty 2. HP Gains?? dont think so, maybe 1 o 2, but i think is more the efect of the better sound. 3. For shure, i took out a good 3 lb from the rear of the car. I also painted the brake calipers in red..... I love the new look

JMATTA Do you know if eliminating the secondary cat sets, (pre-mufflers) will result in HP gain/lost??

Hi, I have a 2002 Boxster 2.7 2002. Tiptronic and would like to eliminate the secondary catalytic converters and I´m wondering if any one has done this. I live in Guatemala City, so I don´t have problems with the emissions. I wonder if eliminating them would make the sound louder or will give me any performance gains due to the air flow gains?? I dont see any sensor after the secondary cat converters, so also don´s spect a check engine light to come on. Sorry for my English Thanks in advance for any comments PD. I´m posting pictures of my car
