depends on the laws in boise. here teyaxas, we aint got no laws bout no 'missions. just slap some rusted pipes 'an make sure she aint loud 'nuff to be heard cross that there field. seriously tho, i passed my inspection w/o cats. they didnt even look underneath. to answer your question, yes, two cats will keep you legal visually, but its hit or miss when they hook up the sniffer.

2002 GT has four cats. One of the first things that was removed. Way too restrictive.

Did anyone notice a BIG diffrence after removing the cats? I assume it helps in the upper rev range.
