Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

PO owner installed a K&N Intake (now replaced with oem 3.8 intake) and my smog inspector didn't want to pass me, even with the sticker on the intake with the approval number.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Where can I get a set of used or new cats for the 996 gt3 at a reasonable price? The fabspeed sport 200 cell cats are not doing the trick for passing readiness monitors based on California standards.

POST 2Original post

I know this is another car forum, but look at this thread https://forums.vwvortex.com/showthre...=sensor+spacer . I think this is a common issue with 200cel cats in general. Seems like this hack may do the trick to get the post cat O2 sensors to read what they are expecting to see.

POST 3Original post

Depending on who you have do the smog check...you can still fail based on the visual. No ARB approval number stamped on the housing. PO owner installed a K&N Intake (now replaced with oem 3.8 intake) and my smog inspector didn't want to pass me, even with the sticker on the intake with the approval number.

Should have turn him into the BAR, the K&N is approved by CARB.

POST 5Original post

Rumor has it that a 996 recently passed the TX emission test without having any cats. I think I heard it has these: https://www.fabspeed.com/universal-9...nverters-pair/ There's no visible inspection requirements in TX.
