You need to check your state law on emissions.

in most places, taking off the cat is illegal bigtime. Down here we have no smog laws so its okay. But a random tech hi flow converter should be fine anywhere.

I don't get it? does it not have a cat, is it just a striaght pipe? if so yeah, that's big trouble, I'm not from your area, but here that's a 1,000 fine. B ut it looks like it has a cat, so you could probably get away with it, unless they take it off, which I highly doubt they would do since it looks like there is a cat.

I've driven without a cat many times, never once been inspected for that. Ohio has more cops than anyother state too, but maybe they really care about that kind of thing over there.

cops are known to search for a cat and can give you a big ticket for not having one.

That product from ebay is not a cat, its just a test pipe or a "high flow cat". if you put that on your car its illegal in the sense that you're polluting the air. in illinois, the cops will pull you over for having a loud exhaust (which will be the case since you're making your exhaust less restrictive). however, the cops will not actually do a roadside check on your vehicle if they pull you over, they'll do that in California not Illinois.
