Porsche Option: -Without catalytic converter
Hi everyone,
As you can see this is my first post, but I've been lurking around for the past couple of weeks.
I got a CarreraS PDK on order, should be Feb 09 production, am very excited about it and can't wait to get my hands on it!
Coming from a modded BMW, 07 e92 335i, I'm very keen to explore the Carrera's performance and limits, handling and steering response in specific, as I'm a spirited and performance oriented driver.
I have a single query though and I'll be glad if someone can help me out.
When I was at the dealer configuring my car I found a no cost option that wasn't present on the online configurator, which was the "Without catalytic converter" option. Was excited and chose to go for it as well as for the PSE, the question is this going to cost me some low end torque? or will Porsche load a specific tune to go with the de-cat and make up for the lost torque, does the new exhaust system (997.2 S which has the cats on the headers) have enough back pressure that this mod won't affect the car's driveablity at low RPM? Any input is appreciated.
Best regards,

What does the line above it say? " PASM Sport Chassis......"
Because it looks like the text " Without catalytic convertors " is just a continuation of the sentence above it.
Not sure why a car company would give you the option of no converters?

Thanks guys.
I guess Porsche offers this option for track use, and no it's not a continuation of the sentence above it, that's the PASM sports chassis (-20mm) with limited slip differential.
Any one with previous experience on a cat-less N/A CarreraS? Maybe exhaust vendors can chime in?
