1999 996 c2 won't pass smog

I was wondering if it is possible to pass smog with a K&N cold air intake or if there's anyway to cheat the sensors?

LOW BUDGET!

Why is not passing?
Too much NOx or HC?

You have another issue. The DME can correct the mapping to manage any change in air / fuel levels. If your failing a smog test it is most likely not related to the K&N. You may fail in Calf or some other states because you are not allowed to 'alter' the OEM set up and if they see something different - bingo - a fail. The fix for that takes a few minutes and requires you putting the old OEM tube and airbox back in. You may have a dead sensor that gives you a fail or a misfire - could be any number of issues. I would think you would have a CEL on if it were major - you didn't mention this or any 'numbers' from the test.
