As I'll also be buying a Kline exhaust for my 996TT, I'm also interested in the conversation about catted versus de-catted. I do not have emissions issues and so my gut reaction is to go for de-catted. I've enjoyed cat-less setups on other cars without any real issues, but want to make sure it's a good overall choice on this platform. I've never owned a 996TT without cats, hence a little apprehension about it. Assuming emissions are not the issue, would you guys all go cat-less on this platform? It would also save me a few bucks on the exhaust, so there is a bit of a bonus there too. ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I ran decats for about 3 years before I decided to quit while I was ahead. I'd run de-cats If I lived in the Southeast or Texas or really anyplace that wasn't as draconian as California.
Recently, I went from a de-cat Kline, to stock exhaust (to pass smog) and back to a fresh HJS 200cell catted Kline in the course of less than a week. I was very surprised to learn that the Kline, both de-cat and catted, isn't much louder than stock at idle and cruise speeds. Whole different story at WOT though.

There is a rumor that some laws may be rolled back.

If you live long enough, which you won’t, you’ll be driving snowcats instead of pcars so it really doesn’t matter whether you go the decat route or not. Enjoy what’s left to enjoy.
If you wonder what the future will will look or smell like just go to India/China at the height of Summer.

Maybe we need a 996 Turbo all-electric conversion DIY thread started here because by 2030 the Green New Deal, if adopted (hopefully not), will have completely phased out all fossil fuels.

FYI Kline can make you a "fake" cat. It looks exactly like a 200 cell cat on the outside/same size shell but straight pipe on the inside. Years ago I was paranoid of a possible visual inspection.
Felix the owner of Kline made mine I believe the same price as straight pipes
