yes it has a cat, i just had one o2sensor changed 2 weeks ago but I found out today there's more than one. and i had a egr (or something like that) valve replaced last week before taking the test. They did the tail pipe test. Sorry not real good with cars or parts..

Usually when one fails for NOx the culprit is the EGR, possibly an O2 sensor but usually O2's going bad cause richness, not lean which would cause high NOx.
When an O2 is bad, usually one would fail for HC/CO not NOx.
Thank god I'm in Michigan where we have absolutely ZERO emission testing !

That's pretty easy to do if you have 2 gage clusters.

Is the car stock or do you have headers on it, aftermarket tuning. Nox can be caused by too much ignition timing, lean conditon, too hot combustion chambers. The key items used to control Nox are the Catalytic converters and EGR system. Its possible for cats to fail only on Nox but EGR is usually the culprit.
