Question Cats...

Is it legal at all to not run cats on your truck??? Is that a law in all fifty states or what?? Are there any exceptions??

most states it is highly ilegal and you can be fined pretty heavy if you mess with your cats!! asfar as i know the law is the law and there is prob no exceptions for removing stock cats!! for the little performance you will get imo its not worth the headache and worry!!

If your vehicle came from the factory with a catalytic converter then it must be there. No ifs ands or buts, no exceptions every state even those that have no inspections.

It is a federal law, besides cats dont take that much power away unless they are clogged.
