Same thing happened to me this summer; 1995 9K Aero failed the NOx test by just a hair. I did need a new cat (it was original to the car, 120K miles)...but I was directed to an exhaust shop in North Reading who did the job for a fraction of the price of any other shop. Lou's Custom Exhaust...if I recall correctly, they also have a shop in Brockton, perhaps an easier trip from the Cape? Highly recommended. I saved HUNDREDS of dollars.
That said, however, I now wonder if my failed reading had more to do with Mass's profoundly flawed emissions testing program than any problem with my car. The Globe ran several stories on this a little while ago. It made me pretty angry, but not nearly as angry as I'd been if I'd had to pay $900 for the new cat at Charles River Saab instead of $236 at Lou's.
