ok on the cat's it is illegal to not have one but a friend of mine called some federal office and they told him that he can remove it as long as the state he was in doesnt have an emissions inspection. if you want to go to extreme's just get an old cat from a junkyard and gut it out put a straight piece of pipe through it looks like you have a cat. but you wont pass emissions.
 
Even if the state doesn't have an emissions inspection, they still check to see if you have a cat. If you don't have a cat, you fail the inspection.

in Cali they give you a fine and a fix-it ticket. they might even make you get your car reff'ed. depends on the cop that pulls you over.

it doesnt depend on the specific cop anymore.... just recently the EPA has been enforcing the red flag and referring of all illegal exhaust, fuel pressure regulator, illegal air filter etc etc etc.... basically anything an IMPORT has under the hood.... you'll get a fine and state referee visits for the duration of the cars life

oh and ricexxxboy is right.... no CAT in cali is $2500 fine... and yes a federal offense

at least just punch the cat so it looks like you have one. In my honest opinion though, having a cat-converter is good for everyone, helps keep pollution down. Not worth the 1-2hp.
 
Holy thread back from the dead Batman.
