I have stock headers/cats, side mufflers, titanium rear center muffler, titanium exhaust tips, plus a bunch of other stuff off the motor and trans of a 2011 RS with 5k miles. PM me if you still haven't found what you were looking for.

None available here, but I have a question: For the those who posted that they were looking for stock headers, what is the reason - is it becUs of a bad cat on your original? If so, that is an obvious problem with having the cats welded into the headers. I'm wondering how often it actually becomes a problem.

Thank you, and good luck.

For me it's bad cats. I just bought my 997.1 GT3 a few days ago. Long story short, previous owner in good faith replaced a O2 sensor since that's what the dealer said was broken on the car. The CEL came back on after I took delivery of the vehicle, same exact code (P0430 both before and after I took delivery). I know I could "get a tune and catless headers" but I'm really not into modifying vehicles anymore so I just want stock cats and a CEL-free experience.

Yeah, P0430 & P0420 are cat efficiency errors. First step is to test the post cat o2 sensor, and if good it's probably the cat.

Yep! Tested and replaced with a brand new one, and still getting the O2 error. So I'm thinking it's probably the cat like you said.

I have these M&M headers and they don't throw off any CEL lights whatsoever.

Just buy a new set for that side.

Or weld in a replacement.

Right! Don't need a set anymore. Long story short, it's getting replaced.

I'm curious though. My new-to-me car has under 30k miles and a cat went bad on it already. This is normal for GT3's? Never encountered this sort of issue before.

Cats fail all the time. 30K miles is not bad for a premature failure.
