H&S bypass and EML

Certainly would compared to OPC labour & ability rates!

No argument relative to a competent engineering Co`s ability to resolve broken stud issues, however I imagine there is quite a difference in effort skills and cost if the task can be performed with the engine still in the car...?
There is a vid on just trying to remove the fixings on a Boxter`s triangular exhaust flanges, which would seem to be easier to get at given the flanges are flat, whereas on my 991, the triangular flanges have a strengthening lip running around there periphery making the fixings even harder to get at...

Thanks both.

Just checked back and had PSE fitted in March 2016 and have added 75k miles since.

Going to get a 2nd opinion as surely the cats should last longer than that? Car doesn't do short journeys all the time, but a mix of work commutes (25 miles each way) with some short journeys mixed in.

Imo it depends if they just fitted the valves and silencers rather than the whole system.

 

[davidjf7]

Interesting! Had assumed would be the whole system, but will check my paperwork to see if it sheds any light...

I'd not expect them to change the manifolds for example.

Is it gen 1 or 2?
Gen 2 has some cats in the manifold to aid warm up for emissions.

 

[davidjf7]

Gen 2, so maybe cats are still original!

Id slap a bet on that. There is no reason to replace the headers to add the PSE
