It could just be specific to my community, but after that, I'm leery of trying to get through without a cat (and also don't want to go through the headache of swapping headers for every emissions test; the more messing with the engine, the greater the chance for something to break).
I've read a lot about the benefits of E85, but unfortunately, it's hard to find in my area.
Thanks again!

They do a tailpipe test. Mass is evil. They even rev the engine up etc, it is all awful. Plus they attach the computer to the car and are vile horrible things. It is best just to run and move somewhere without an income tax or a car inspection.
The best thing to do is find an independent mechanic that you like that does the testing and just grow a relationship. That way if they like you they will look the other way if they can, and honestly tell you when they cannot. There are lots of good people that happen to do tests. There are also lots of assholes that don't give a shit that are using broken outdated decades old equipment that want to fail you.
