The possible candidates for smog failure are: Air Mass Meter, Catalytic Converter, Oxygen Sensor, Top Cylinder carbon build-up, AIC, and vacuum leak.
I had a 9000 that I had trouble smogging and I took it to my mechanic who progressively changed things in the most likely order until it passed. $900 later I had a smogged vehicle.
One of the things he told me was that the aftermarket catalytic converters are junk. Usually just good enough to get you through one smog test and then it could be expected to be changed on the next go-round. But, the Saab CC runs $700, so it's still cheaper to replace the CC every couple of years.
I know the SPG to which you are referring. Don't say I didn't warn you.
