I just realized I gave some bad advice. I'm adding this post to clarify. They catalytic converter you need to replace is the one on the header. If you look at the exhaust diagram for the 2000+ Boxsters you'll see that the cat on the header has O2 sensors on each side of it. The cat next to the muffler is not monitored. Surprisingly enough the Porsche header is cheaper than the Porsche catalytic converter next to the muffler.

Audi Part Number: 4A0 905 849 B . You can find a DIY link at PedrosGarage.com FWIW, I replaced mine with an switch from AutoZone over a year ago and have had no problems. -
I have the exact same code on my 01 Boxster with 86K miles. The dealer told me to replace both cats at a cost of $4.5k OUCH! I don't live in California, so I've been debating on getting an aftermarket catalytic converter. I believe the converter in the code refers to the cat just before the muffler.

I have a 01 Boxster with a bad catalytic converter. The dealer quoted me $2k+ to replace it. Are there any good aftermarket converters that can be used? Is it a bad idea to get it replaced at a regular muffler shop?
