it works just fine - street and track. the only problem is it will drain your battery if left for too long in the obd. perhaps an obd extender would be nice for easier install/remove

if you have. a tune, this isn't needed, you can remove the codes by the tuned map

Speaking about tunes, I see some tuners here attacking it, I wish they took better care of my 720S engine a few years ago..

Thank you for the feedback

Tuning means warranty void which is a no go for me as these engines are not 10k Camry engines plus I'm planing to get Porsche Approved warranty

I have a Cobb fuse box which leaves the OBD connector visible so disconnecting the OBD is not a problem when the car is not moving for "long" periods

Here is a quick suggestion, purchase two of the below (one for each bank) and install it. You can run stock tune with cats deleted and no CEL. Use the smallest O-ring of the three that are included in the kit. You can do the install job on your garage floor.
Vibrant Performance J-Style Oxygen Sensor Fittings 11619

I've used this product for years on all my 911's, GTR's, AMG's, M-cars and so on and it has always worked!

Thanks!

This works well for lambdas, but sadly is useless for OPF pressure diferencial on EU cars

I am located in the U.S.A. and it has always worked for me/my cars. If you like, perhaps you can contact the manufacturer to see if they make such units for OPF EU models.

Are you saying it only clears codes related to the O2 sensor?

It is not difficult to understand ...you install your OAP, as soon as your get a light you check the errors and verify that it is the PXXXX related to OPF , you connect the OBD killer it registers that code and it will clear JUST that error next time it pops up

I installed sport cats on my 2024 TTS. P0420, P0430 and CEL. I purchased the OBD killer directly from the company in Germany. Instant and excellent communication, the device does not do ECU resets and will only clear a limited amount of Cat and GPF codes. Cleared the CEL and codes within the first few minutes of driving. Very satisfied with the device for now, as I don’t want to program the ECU from OEM at this time.

Once the codes are cleared can you remove It?
When remove how many miles can you drive before you're forced to plug it again?
I would not want to leave it always plugged
