Illegal in NY?

It's a $10,000 fine to remove your cats. Test pipes are for "offroad" use only. HFCs provide almost the same performance (as noted above 1-3hp less) and then you don't

But once again cops here are not going to crawl under your car and look for your cats. Also your Z will fail a visual inspection because there are no cats. But once again most people will not care. As long as your CEL stays off you should be good to go. And incase you did not notice I'm running TP.
This for the most part. Cops dont need to crawl under to check. They have some meter they put up to your exhaust and could tell that way.

If you know a shop and dont throw a CEL they would pass you no issues though.

Its loud. A friend of mine with a 500+WHP SRT-4 commented on how loud it was LOL... But you can live with it. The Z is my nice weather toy so I dont care how loud it is.
