Manifolds on a Boxster...technical question….help

[Bumcrack]

Thinking about changing the manifolds on my 986S, it’s a 53 plate and I’m not to sure if a new manifold is the way forward.

Am I correct in thinking the 986S has a cat in the header/manifold and a sensor to monitor the heat/gas mixture after the cat?

Most after market headers don’t have a built in cat, so will you get a check engine light on the dash if I install a manifold without a cat in line.

Hi

Just changing the manifold is straight forward with no sensors to worry about or cats as they are in the exhaust itself.
The problem you may encounter is removing the bolts that secure it as alot of boxsters and 911 cars have corroded over the years.
