930 Cat converter....?
I'm looking to buy a good used factory OEM cat converter for an 87 930. Yes...(sigh) I live in California!! Yes...DMV has me in the crosshairs. Someone out there must have gone to a hi performance set up and has one sitting around somewhere that they're not using....hopefully.

Chuck, I have one that you're welcome to borrow if you just need something to pass emissions and inspection. I only use it annually, but do not think I'll need it for a while as my rebuild is crawling along... Unfortunately, shipping back and forth might be cost prohibitive. Anyway, if you don't find one, you can fallback on borrowing mine anytime.

CANYSMC: Damn...I shoulda' otta' known you guys are sharp...I read that other discussion thread about "Is this a real Slantnose", and you guys picked up on the slightest nuance or irregularity. And you just caught me... .flat out busted me.
OK...I need a cat because I bought the car without one. There I said it.....the PO showed me the smog cert that he had done two months before and the car sailed thru. I said..(kuz I'm such a really a nice guy)...I said..no problemo..even tho the seller is responsible, just give me $75 and I'll take care of the smog....NOT. Flunked twice, passed visual, but the CA smog guys don't know P cars and thought the performance muffler was the cat...so I passed visual but flunked the emissions part; times two kuz I couldn't imagine it flunking and kept running it thru. Took it in to an indy...and he said..."OH my... look here...this isn't a cat, it's a muffler"....OK guys...have I snitched myself off enough for you? Consequently, I'm looking for a used cat to have on hand for those periodic invitations we CA guys get to attend a command performance at one of our fine smog shops.
IM4duke...I really appreciate your kind offer to loan me yours, but one of the Rennlist guys in Tracy contacted me and I drove down there and borrowed his. I finally got thru smog and am now street legal for the next two years unless "called upon sooner". I am trying to find one to buy so that I can have one up this way...and then if someone finds themselves in my position, we have a Sacramento "representative" in the loaner department. Thanks again for the kind offer...Chuck

I've got a cat. conv. that came off of '86 with 10k miles. It shows no signs of being over heated
(discolored housing) and the honeycomb looks crisp and sharp. If you are intrested send me a
PM. Charlie
