You can get in trouble at ANY time for removing your cats. For an instant $2,000+ fine, is it worth 5hp?

If the cop looks under your car, you are in trouble.... But unless your car is super loud, I don't think he would.

Also, there are high performance cats avilable, to be safe, you should get those, and you will pass smog. With out the cats, your chances of passing smog "legalley" is probablly impossible.

I've also seen people hollow out the cat, this way if a cop does look under your car, you would be covered. But again, smoging it every year is a problem.

I would just go with the high performance cats.
