MetalCat Installation Problem

I have been a reading and contributing member to Maxima.org for a little bit now, and finally decided to go for it and install new suspension, complete Cattman exhaust (Y-Pipe to Tip) and intake on my 2k SE.

Unfortunately, After removing the OEM catalytic converter I am completely stumped on what to do with the Oxygen Sensor that sits right after it. The new MetalCat that I have does not have any place to screw it in nor does the Cattman B-Pipe as far as I can tell. Ideas anyone? I can post pics if it helps.



Thanks in Avance!

Do a search for o2 simulator

Hope you're enjoying the Boxster, I had a '99 (non-S) when I graduated college until realized how ungodly expensive it was to maintain one of them.

Have the muffler shop weld a new oxigen sensor bung, should be a pretty easy fix.

I did a look up and I really like the simulator idea. Thanks for the heads up.


That is too bad, about the 98. The $100+ dealer oil changes were a scary thought. I bought mine 8 months ago and sold my 2004 G35 6MT Coupe (too heavy and visibility sucked). I am completely enthralled with the Porsche idea. It is true, there really "is no substitute". I joined the PCA and am getting help on how to maintain the vehicle cost effectively and also taking racing classes for Auto Cross racing. The handling is amazing and the S, well, has plenty of go. I am looking at a couple of mods for no particular reason, since with cars like these, 0-60 time is pretty much meaningless if you don't really know how to drive them. <Image of upside down tuner/performance cars running through my head>. I used to think everything was about 1/4 mile times, man am I glad I was wrong. There is no thrill like punching it through corner after corner and knowing your ride is going to do exactly what you want it to do.

God how I love cars!
