You've got my input. You go ahead and do whatever you want (insert legal disclaimer here). I might even say it sounds good if I hear it.

Only situations I can think of where you don't need one:
Race vehicles that are not streetable
Farm vehicles
Move out of country

there is one other if it is older then a certain year i think it is 85. the kicker to that is vehicles came with cats and they provided a ton of back pressure and horrible mileage. they can be taken off but only you can take it off a muffler shop cannot. my parents have a 83 econoline van (love the thing) it came with a cat but my dad was able to take it off with no penalties. he said that the mpg difference was big 10 with it on 16-18 with it off.
