I would worry less about state troopers and more about the EPA. They will clean out your bank account, though usually only for TPs.

Did you install the cats yourself?
Yes, I installed them myself. I guess I shouldn't have read the horror stories of the 25k fines and 4 years in jail. Probably just should take it for a drive and enjoy it.

I received a violation for test pipes on my last car. If you fix it and pay admin fees, they usually let it go.

I see. Did you get hit at the inspection place or on the road? I find it hard to believe that they would try to enforce some mandatory felony instead of giving the consumer a chance to fix it.

Not sure if it's different here in TX vs AL. But thanks.

I got the ticket in the mail, back when I was living in VA. Busted by one of the roadside metering vans. I had 14 days to have the vehicle inspected (I think the closest station was 45+ minutes away). I called, played dumb, and they told me if I sold it out of country they'd let me off with a $160 fine or something. Gave some dude in Canada a great deal on the car...only paid $25 of the fine too.

State shouldn't matter though, since it is federal...
