I'm doing some digging into the Federal Law on this...here's what I have found so far:

"According to Title II of the EPA Clean Air Act (Enacted Jan 1 1988) there are multiple regulations concerning the use or misuse of aftermarket catalytic converters, or the removal and/or modification of a stock catalytic converter. According to various parts of Section 203, all aftermarket catalytic converters must be EPA certified, and your vehicle must have a gas conversion device of some manner. If not, both you and the installer are punishable of a Federal Offense by Section 205 (a). The operator's fine can be no more than $2,500 and the installation agency no more than $25,000. "

Here is the link (Federal government): http://www.epa.gov/air/caa/title2.html

So, if you remove the cats yourself, you can be fined $2,500.00....that would buy a nice "cat back" exhaust system IMO with money for a Friday night on the town (quietly!).

Idk how it is in Orlando (I know where my papa lives in McKinney cops don't care about exhaust) but here in Tallahassee nobody cares, there is no emissions and really no way to get caught unless you happen to **** off the wrong guy who has a clue about exhaust from a previous job or experience. Street Boss don't worry about cops around here I ran open manifolds for over a week and got more compliments from cops than anyone else and more than I have with my super 44 and high flows. With all that said I'd still say get high flows or keep the stockers and just cut the muffler and have Tire Town on South Monroe weld it all up. David (the manager) is a great guy and does awesome prices. MAKE SURE you don't have exhaust leaks though because I had one and it wasa pain to get scheduled to go back in. Mighty Muffler is good stuff but $$$$$$$.

i have a flowmaster super 44 muffler on a stock exhaust and i it sounds bad ***....look up some videos of it....it has a nice start up sound....a decent idle and sounds real nice when your cruising or when you get on it.....both inside and outside of truck.....ALOT louder then the magnaflow i bought which really wasnt much better then stock IMO
