Agreed, plus,

Federal law supersedes state law every time.

EPA reg states all vehicles built after (iirc) 1968 must have cats if they came with them oe.

Again, iirc, the FEDERAL fine for violating this is around $37k per offense. The EPA has been known to have vans parked along the highways that are equipped with “sniffers” that can get you when/if you drive by. Odds are good that probably won’t happen but it’s out there. Also, any LEO can pull you over in any state if they smell that “catless” odor as probable cause and a quick visual inspection could mean a state level fine but possibly even a federal one depending on your luck.

Long story short, IMO it’s not worth the risk for a street driven car to go catless. ESP when there are federal EPA compliant hfc’s out there. No hfc will meet CARB, but some will meet federal regs. I don’t know if fast intentions hfc fall into that category or not, but they are one of the best companies out there for high quality z parts.
