Can we get back on topic please? I don't think this thread is about an environmental debate.

Sadly you are mistaken. Removing cats is 100% illegal in EVERY state in the United States. Your state may not have
stricter emissions laws, but FEDERAL law still applies and it is a fine up to $2,500 for a consumer and $25,000 for businesses to remove cats from a street car. It is a violation of the EPA Clean Air Act

It is 100% wrong to say it's legal because it isn't legal anywhere in the US. You can say that 'my state doesn't test and I am unlikely to be caught'. You can't misinform everyone that it is legal.
