Random question: why do some cats have an extra hole?

Just curious, but I've seen aftermarket cats for the 996tt from time to time that have a third hole (usually plugged with some kind of cap or bolt), in addition to the two o2 sensor holes. Just curious what the purpose of the extra hole is. Some sort of additional sensor? Thanks!

Makes sense but the 996 uses a wideband for the factory o2 sensor.

Kicked the wife's cats out of house 2 years ago... They still stare in the windows and get fed 2x a day, but no longer pissing on the bed!
