MAF, Vacuum leaks - many hoses, Intake manifold gaskets, Missing MAP Sensor- All caused poor running conditions, various headaches, poor power and CEL (Too rich at idle -->(then) MAF circuit a). These rich running conditions killed Cats, replaced both the fronts with Magnaflow, cut out and straight piped the rears.

Additionally, I have to check my rear A/C system as the air coming out of the vents in the center console for the backseat is warm. It's not hot, nor is it cold. I'm thinking after 11 years, the system could probably use a refrigerant top up.
Apart from that, the S65 has been running well. Drove it to Washington D.C. a few weeks ago and didn't have any problems.

I have to say this thread was quite the read! In the first pictures of the disconnected wires, those orange-banded plugs plug into the coil packs... surprised that nobody else seemed to really notice or say anything. Glad to read your car is running great !
