I guess to put this to rest, yes your cat back exhaust should be 100% legal if you have stock cats. If you replace the stock cats with either HFC or a long tube header system you are technically not street legal. Long tube headers will give you some trouble passing inspection because it gets rid of your cats completely and any moron will be able to see that if your car is on a lift. The HFC shouldn't give you any trouble passing as long as it's not hooked up to a sniffer and your not throwing any codes.
Correct. Most states do have maximum dB levels for exhaust systems, so it's possible that a super loud CBE could be illegal, but you'll only get tagged for that if you're driving like a douchebag and the cop decides to get you for it.
