Do American's actually say, "Nine, Eighty Seven" and "Nine, Ninety Seven" for that matter as opposed to 9-8-7 or 9-9-7 as the presenter is saying it at the beginning of the video in the above link?

 

[thboxster]

Are the accepted emission levels in the US the same as in the UK?

Oh, and someone needs to ask about the "Check warning light" I'm not sure if he mentioned it in the video[]

I did not look at the video. For the 987 we say nine eight seven - 3 words. But for the 911 we say nine eleven - 2 words.

The 'problem' with that exhaust is that it will not pass the visual inspection when it is time for a smog/emission inspection, even if the engine is putting out pure oxygen. Silly, but are laws are strict and do not permit modifications to the oem emission system unless they have been approved by the government.

In California a new car does not have a smog inspection until it is 4 years old. But if it is sold during the first 4 years it has to have an inspection. After the first inspection it is inspected every 2 years thereafter. In my area the car now has to be driven on a dyno to simulate driving on the road.

Unless you have a stupid or lazy inspector he would spot the missing cats and sensors during the visual inspection.

During the past week I had the smog inspection done on my truck and 986. The first guy had a floor mirror to look for the cat and sensor.

The second guy , for the 986, looked under the car with a flash light. I have known the second guy for years and he is by the book, plus he thought I had modified the car. He even made me take off the engine lid to see if there were any modifications.

[&o] Do you have a view on why Fabspeed think the 2nd set of Cats is a waste of space, money and energy and therefore there system has done away with something Porsche presumably figured to be necessary kit originally. I know who I would go with on this one []

Curiously enough, I've been looking at a possible sports exhaust on my 03 986S.

Whats the general preferences out there ? Am I right in thinking that there is no sports exhaust from porsche post 2002 ?

 

[Tool Pants]

Cats are there not for performance, but to reduce emissions. This started in California in 1975 when unleaded gas came out. When the 1997 2.5 came out it had 2 cats, one on each side. When the 2.7/3.2 came out in 2000 it had 4, two on on each side. I do not think the UK 986 got our 4 cat system. I would have to look at Mark's 987 pictures to see if a UK 987 has 4, but I bet it does. A US 987 has 4. In fact the rear cats on a 987 are now part of the muffler.

Porsche did come out with a sport exhaust for 2003/4. We have it in the US. But from what I have seen on boxa.net you cannot get it in the UK.

TP info on UK 987 exhaust system for you. We didn't get any Sports Exhaust option for the 2003/04 facelift model do you have any pictures of the system?

 

[Tool Pants]

Pictures of the 2003/4 sports exhaust are here.

TP that looks like the standard issue on UK cars for that model year [&o]

 

[Tool Pants]

The renntech.org link has true pictures of the factory 2003/4 sport exhaust. My dealer had a 2004 with the sports exhaust and it looked just like the renntech pictures. That is the one with the dash switch. A UK or US standard exhaust does not have the by-pass pipes on the side.

I looked at Mark's pictures of the exhaust on a UK 987 and it looks just like a US 987. You have the same 4 cats we do.

Yes I can see what you mean now [] Wonder why it wasn't available in the UK []

I am new to Boxsters, and have a 987S which I love. The one thing that gets me down is now being able to see the engine! It's just not right!

In your post you show a snap of the cover off,. Do you (or anyone else) have a procedure for this on a 987?

Peter ... Looking at that engine shot by TP I can see why Porsche decided to bury it out of sight far too much black plastic and dull looking metal on show there []

You should see it after 5 years worth of crap have settled on it.

 

[Mark_Bennett]

As John has already alluded to, the instructions for accessing the engine (from the top) are in the Owners Handbook.
It is a simple 5 minute job involving no tools to get to see just how dirty your engine is...

 

[waspe]

Thanks Mark

I must have missed it: thought I had read it comprehensively. I recall a section on how to remove the cover behind the seats.

I'll look again
