Default Who knows about Delaware laws on Cats, ORY's, and sound?

I plan on eventually getting a set of headers. I know its illegal to run without cats but im not sure they even look anymore since they plug it in to find codes at the motor vehicle. I also know there is a noise limit. Just wondering how they test. Any tips to get by would be great.

Thanks,

Erik

There's no front plate law here so rip it off. As far as the cats go, they test the car with a scanner and do a visual so you'll need something there to at least fool them. They didn't say a word to me about noise though, even when I ran it through the first time with no cats on it. I would have passed if they didn't do a visual. They told me to put cats on and bring it back so i did and they gave me my tags no problem.

Yes, they do a visual for cats and also check the decibal limit at a certain RPM.

I think 95 decibals is the limit? The cats depend on the guy in the lane. The last time I had my TA inspected the guy never looked for cats and gave my car the sniffer test instead of the scan.
