Your Stock Cats for Fab Speed Cats
Hi All,
I have a customer that has a 2005 Carrera S. He lives in California. Upon visual inspection the emissions technician noticed he had Fab Speed Cats that were not CARB certified. He would like to swap Cats with someone in some other state. It must be a 2005 as the part numbers are different. Please shoot me a PM if interested and I'll get you in touch with him. And yes the car will pass emissions in any other state and no, there is not a check engine light on.

Fabspeed parts are not CARB-legal in CA
Why won't Fabspeed issue a sticker that can be applied to their existing exhaust equipment sold to Californians stating that they are CARB certified? Or are they not eligible for CARB? In which case Fabspeed can no longer sell exhaust components to street-legal cars in CA?
I just ran in to the same case wherein my car failed visual inspection here in CA while getting the car smogged. No CARB certs on the pipes. And no info from Fabspeed. In fact, two years back when my Fabspeed-equipped car failed CA smog (before they required the CARB-certified stickers), Fabspeed was of now help in repeated phone calls.
Caveat emptor.

Question: Did your car fail visual due to cats or some other issue?
My understanding is that anything after the cats is not emission and can be changed. Cats, intakes, super chargers, turbos, ECU mods, ignition mods, all that stuff needs CARB cert to be legal for on-road use. Yeah it sucks.

How do 2005 cats differ from other 997.1 cats? Is there a physical mounting difference that prevents their installation? I've never seen anyone cite the 2005 differentiation before for any high flow cats.
