texas, by law, requires cats to be legal. however, you can ge away w/ no cats, like me. some places that do inspections dont even look under the car. and yes, i wanted to save money too, so i went o/r. great choice
to my surprise its really close to as loud as my friend with an offroad mac h (same weld-in flows). its surprisingly loud for catted. i love it. sounds very sweet. got lots of compliments so far.
