ALWAYS SAY YES!!! haha dont ever tell em no

and if he gets his fat *** on the ground to look and CAN see it say you didnt know, you have the exhaust custom made by a friend of a friend. Then say you will fix it IMMEDIATELY! haha... o man. I've be asked a couple times if I had cats on my truck. Good thing it was SLAMMED and they couldnt see if they wanted to haha

as other members said, weld on a cat shell or put bullets on there

here is something that would prob save some time in stead of cuttin the cat and having to re-weld it, or gutting your cat and you don't have any turbulence in your exhaust...

are all you guys getting pulled over just for this, or were you doing something else stupid?

I was just wondering if they are actually pulling people for no front plates, no cats etc or just noticing it after they pulled you over for speeding/stupid stuff etc..

you should have just said "it was a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas, what do you say is it the new bluesmobile or what?"

Okay there!! You do that. I'm sure that cops love guys like you with tons of attitude over clear violations of the current law. Cats are required. Front plate is required. Dumped exhaust is illegal. Speeding is a violation. These aren't hard things to comprehend. If you're going to break the law, accept the possible consequences and don't be a dick yourself.

Most cops don't waste their time with this kind of stuff. I run dumps as well, no cats, no front LP, no emissions equipment... I would be screwed if I ever got pulled over by a cop that cared about that kind of stuff, but I have been lucky so far. However, this is breaking the law, so we can't really complain about getting cited for it.
