Take the cats off and you're violating FEDERAL LAW. The car cannot be sold or traded legally until the cats are put back on. So you better save those cats!

Actually...it's not. It's not legal for a manufacturer to sell it. Person to person it doesn't matter. It may be a violation to drive it on the road in some states without the cats..

I just looked it up the other night in another thread, yes it is illegal for anyone to remove them. I will find it again and repost if you want.

True, it's completely legal to remove the cats and use the vehicle off road. One good thing is there is no emissions testing in Florida.

You better read the entire document I posted the link to. It's a federal law.

The documentation is from 1990. I'm pretty sure In 22 years things have been revised. Which is why NASCAR is able to operate their vehicles without cats and not be in violation.

Also the shops that I talked to about installing my pipes told me the car would be required to arrive and leave on a trailer since it would be off road use only.

Because they have never been certified to be a street car sold to the public they are built from the ground up to be a race car.
