Jesus said:It depends on who catches you. I have heard legends of road side emissions testing, kind of like those DUI stations the cops set up on certain holidays, and if you get nailed by one of those (very unlikely) the fine is something like 2500 dollars per missing cat (so you would be looking at 10,000-15,000 thousand dollars and possible jail time since it is a federal offense to remove your emissions devices) I am not sure what the fine is if a cop pulls you over. I know where I lived in NY they could impound the vehicle if they wanted to.
The only thing keeping me from putting on an O/R H or X...will put in an aftermarket catted H or X though...at least I'll have something to stand on if I get caught you know?...much easier to tell the officer that the original mid pipe got damaged if you replced it with an aftermarket one with cats.
Funny how I judge possible jail time, impound or heavy fines as the "only thing" keeping me from putting on an aftermarket pipe.
