Many states don't enact their own laws because the federal standards are good enough. That doesn't mean they have no emissions laws, they still all follow the federal level. They are just not stronger than the minimums.
Except he was 100% right. Your state may not monitor/enforce stricter emissions laws, but all states must abide by the federal standards. So it is 100% illegal to remove cats in the United States, regardless of what state you are in.
You are just more likely to get caught and fined for not running them in some states more than others. You sir, are the one who doesn't understand even though you are an American.

Thank you my friend.
You've restored my faith in the USA! As Judge Judy says, 'if it doesn't make sense then usually it's not true'.
We have a similar system to yours with a federal government and state governments so it just wasn't making sense.
