Default Got the 993!! Yaay! Couple things need to be fixed though,

one of the exhaust pipes sort of sputters a little at idle and I think the drivers side catalytic converter is shot b/c when I rev the engine (while in neutral) and take my foot off the gas, I can hear a sound like something is rattling. Sounds like the classic "marbles in a can" sound of a bad cat.

VFC Engineering will be giving the car a once over (thanks to the numerous recommendations on here).

The paint has also seen better days, it's a black car so that's kind of expected. I will probably see if I can get a recommendation for a detailer, or I'll get off my lazy *** and do it myself

Default What's a catalytic converter? I went with Fabspeed extra high flow...

..... "cats". They're almost like straight pipes.... because they're.... uuuum.... straight pipes ;-)

they sound nice but the wife makes me push it out of the garage to start the car.

Default www.rennlist.com/switch And congrats!!

BTW you only have one cat, not two. Check out ebay item no. 130041034138 if you want a NOS cat. I hope it's nothing serious.
