Presume you are state side yes?
Is it illegal to run your car without a cat then?
My friend had two on his 20V, both of which are now sat in boxes in his
garage. It still passes its annual MOT including the emissions test, and
now he has a much 'free-er flowing exhaust system`.
Unless you are going to get hauled infront of a court for running a car
without a cat, then why not just take them off, and replace them with
parts that you should be able to order over the counter :-)
Unless there is something else Im missing?
