California Catalytic Converter Replacement
My 1999 1.8T Quattro needs the catalytic converter replaced.
I see a lot of Direct Fit OE replacements for 49-state vehicles but not for California. Presumably I will have to buy one from the Audi Dealer which I'm hoping to avoid.
Has anyone ever used a 49-state cat on their California model successfully? As in, it will pass a smog test and will also correct the Check Engine Light.
Or, what are some good solutions/workarounds?
Thanks in advance

Labree high flow cat. It has a 3.0" in and a 2.5" out. It can be bolted to the stock turbo and down pipe with OEM gaskets and O2 sensors. Just installed mine, it's a very nice piece, well made. Labree's customer service is exceptional as well. And it's only $250 + shipping.
