If a licensed shop does it they have to put a cat back on. Now thats not to say that every shop will. Some think they won't get caught. We won't take the chance. $20K is a lot of equipment to sell off to pay a fine.

what you do in your driveway is another story. I don't know what would happen but the chances of ever having a problem are EXTREMELY slim .

2 differant shops told me its agains the law to remove the CAT and put on a pipe.(Im still gonna do it)

I made up some story that I needed the pipe for a vent pipe on a gas stove I was installing in my shop, he smiled and said no problem.

As far as a cat and the Junk Yard, in Idaho, you can't buy the cat from them, 1 they get good money out of them and 2, the yards have told me it's against the law for them to sell them (what a racket that is).

Can buy aftermarket for $250 - $350...
