I have been experiencing a continuous loss of power over the past couple of months and assumed it was related to my cats and mufflers.

I took the plug out and welded it back together so, yes I am going cat-less. Porsche wanted $1800cdn/ cat and I don't know how much for the mufflers ( which are full of garbage from the cats)

Claims for repair or adjustment necessary solely because of defects in material or workmanship will not be denied because the car or engine was not properly maintained or used

Got one check CEL last fall at which time they said it was the cats and probably the mufflers as well. They said they would replace both under warranty but, only once. I didn't feel it was necessary and asked them not to replace them. No CEL s since. Just the loss of power.

This is amazing! I thought these cars and especially the GT3 were made to be used on the track. Just what is defined as "excessive track use" and is it a ligitimate warranty violation,

this is one of the many reasons Porsche is not as interested in making a street car for track use. They spend a lot of time and effort dealing with warrenty issues on tracked cars. PCCB,engine bits, cats not to mention the ******* lawyers on the unsafe car topic.
We cause them more problems then our business is worth.
I found that my dealer is my best friend. They are the people makinng the case to the Porsche rep. He is paid to say NO. The dealer is paid when they keep you as a customer. I have made a point to bring service business to them, sharing it with the indy. I have had PCCB, and a couple of other items covered because the dealer went to the mat for me(their customer). BARRIER will keep my business
