But I just found out, no cats is against the law in Texas. So what do i do?
it's against the law in every state. Just tell the cops to go **** themselves and take the cats off anyway! Don't let those bullys push you around!


....says the cop. thats funny.

LoL.

The reality is, it's really difficult to tell what someone is running. First you have to either get a mirror pr crawl on the ground and look underneath. And that is assuming that the cop would even know about cats. it's not a very popular / widely known law. Sure, you know it if you mess around with engines, but most people I know (and quit a few cops I know) honestly wouldn't know what one was or where to find it. It's one of those really minor things.

Even if you did know and could look and could see them, there's no easy way to tell if they have been hollowed out or not. And you can't go by "sound" or write them for the exhaust because it's only illegal hereif the exhaust is over 95dB.

Basically, it's too much of a hassle for the average traffic cop. There are plenty of other things they check out instead... registration, inspection, speed, insurance, etc...
