So does AZ

didn't stop me from going ORX.

I had the luxury of knowing that our emissions ******** will only check to see if you have them if you are throwing codes.

Buy a cheap set, gut them, and have them welded in. Toss on 02 simms (which im guessing you already have) and your good to go. Trust me there is zero chance of them being able to tell if the cats are gutted or not. Now if they do a sniffer test thats another story but if it is just visual then go with gutted cats.

Do what I did, take them off, pay the smog guy an extra $100 and you will pass.

Here they dont do a sniffer test but they will check to make sure they are there (most of the time). I just give the guy a $50 and tell him to keep it as he is getting ready to pull my car in.. It always takes care of it.

Damn I thought I was coming into a cat-hating thread, I kill every cat I see on my land, and sometimes I try to run them over in my car. But this had to be a catalytic converter thread, I call that false advertising.

I just used a loudmouth muffler as a dummy cat(looks like a high flow aftermarket cat). As long as you're smart you won't get caught

I always go on the last day before they close down for christmas.. when everyone else needs to get their car in before the end of the year deadline. It's busy as hell, and you have to wait forever. Thing is, the techs see it too, and they want to get home for the holidays and vacation, so they speed everyone through. My codes are all cleared, and when they are rushing like that, they don't look under the car.
