My 912E will pass the Oregon DEQ without the reactors, however if they actually knew thew had them they would require them. Fortunately the car is obscure enough that most do not know what they are looking at.

3 years ago I bought a 912E from a guy in Chico, CA. As required, it came with a valid CA smog certificate. No way would I have bought the car without it.

I live in Nevada. The local DMV would not accept the CA smog certificate. On the first try, the car failed Nevada smog. After some adjustments, it passed. It has no thermal reactors, an aftermarket K&N airfilter and a working smog pump. It's registered as a classic vehicle and is smog excempt as long as I drive no more than 5,000 miles annually.
