Looks like it somewhere near the Malibu Canyons. Gorgeous out there.

Indeed, it is in Malibu and connects Kanan Dume Road and the Pacific Coast Highway.
Thank you! I just came across it the other day while lurking in the 996 forum. Still undecided about what to do (OEM or UAOS), as I was planning on preemptively replacing the AOS in my 87k mile 997.1.
UAOS all day. It makes it a lifetime product essentially so you never have to do the job again. It's often used on engine rebuilds by the likes of Slakker and FSI and has some nice improvements to the system, like track drain back. If you pop into the 996 section, the UAOS thread has a complete DIY install I did, complete with photos and tips.

they look OEM. Any non-Porsche person would think those were stock. I highly recommend them as inthink there is nothing out there as good as these. Eventually i am going to the replace the headlights as well.
Yes, I used 2 90 degree post cat spacers and it did the trick. Wish I knew they'd throw them in! I ended up gambling as some folks report no CELs with these CATs while others do.
The mufflers are coming along nicely and should sound great! I used an acidic product called Ospho to remove rust and it does wonders. Just spray on and use steel wool. This is what my old Cat looked like before and after:
The black box is the oil collector for the UAOS. The round diaphragm near the TB is what usually fails in the OEM AOS so replacing it is a breeze now, should it ever fail. This one uses much more thicker rubber for the diaphragm.
Looking great. Do you need to spray something on them for protection after cleaning with the Ospho? Won’t it start rusting again right away?
