I've had my P5 for two years, and I've had the precat failure this entire time. I've ignored it and just went about my merry way until now.
I need to smog it, and sell the car. It's been a fun car most of the time but I need to get this fixed or passably fixed.
I read about the non-fouler and the resistor thing (forgot what it's called).
But I'm in California, so having the spacer in there likely isn't going to fly with the visual inspection.
I thought about replacing the precat but between the cost of the part and the time to wrench on it, bust two knuckles, lose my voice from yelling at that one bolt that won't budge I'm not sure it's worth it, the car it pretty worn out and has some dents and paint issues.
What are your experiences with this? Recommendations? I'm already a month past due on the smog (smash)
