Is anyone concerned with the legality of an empty cat? Is it to say that
mods to the exhaust after the cat are pretty much useless to those who want
to stay legal? I think you would have to have almost to no conscious to
hollow the cat and be happy about it. Of course, for off-road purposes it is
OK, right? Isn't it possible to increase the dia. of the cat along with the
exhaust?
