Ticket price if you get caught without catalytic convertor?
my moms friend helps me with a lot of car stuff and i was going to have him help me take off my catalytic convertor cuz he has a breaker bar and i only have a crappy little socket wrench... he said he wouldnt help me because its illegal and if you get pulled over without one and they find out its a $5000 fine. he has a habit of not having correct information or exagerating what he has

well, it's illegal.
so there's a fine. it varies from state to state... a friend of mine went to get his car e checked, and forgot to put the cat back in. i think it was a 200 dollar fine... i've heard of it being up to 10k though... so he may be right...

well i was thinking of either getting a BOMZ high flow cat which i hear is just a resonated test pipe or else just hollowing out the cat i already have then if i get pulled over ill be like "look under the car u damn pig, see the cat?"
what do people with turbo kits other than the greddy one do as far as smog checks.. i heard that all turbo kits besides the greddy turbo kit are not smog legal, do they register it in an area without smog laws? do they go to a friend who does smog checks and will pass them no matter what?

they're not CARB approved...
that's the california air resources board... that doesn't mean they aren't smog legal in other states... as long as your emissions are within the "guidelines" for the state... it doesn't matter what's under the hood...

That is the one thing I don't miss about the states is the emissions rules. Though they are looking at it quite hard now here in New Zealand so things may change in the future.

my friend and me both had 91 integra GS's with the same exhaust setup (2.5 tubing to a BOMB tunable muffler) but he doesnt have his cat and his sounds more ricey when mine is soooo deep. we both have intake and exhaust but he doesnt have a cat and he runs 1.1 seconds faster on the 1/4 mile, he drove my car and got within .003 of my same time so its not the driver..
now i have a 90 gs without any exhaust yet

the smell isn't bad.
you get the smell of mildly burnt gas, instead of clean air coming out the pipe... it's by no means bad. it's like being in a racecar... all the time... and you can't smell it unless you come to a stop, and then it's only for a second... unless your car leaks and you get exhaust through the floor boards...
