okay I was told by my local exhaust guy that by putting two cats on my mustang (98 Gt) that it wouldnt pass inspection, because it is made for at least four cats, and I would need at least four to pass inspection. I live in NC and would anyone know the story behind this... I mean I thought that as long as I had two cats on there in NC that I was okay, but am I wrong? People can yall help me out?

I couldnt say 100% sure that you will pass with 2 cats in NC but I would think you would. You should pass with 2 cats anywhere in the USA as far as I know. At least out here in Az you can pass with 2 cats.

It's illegal to remove working cats from a car anywhere in the USA. It's a federal EPA law, not state law. I believe the fine is as much as $5,000. I think someone stole mine.

2 Cats on a 98GT. I had one and put a Mac-H pipe with 2 cats on mine and it passed New Jersey Inspection...so you have nothing to worry about. I also had a flowmaster cat-back
