no, no dealer would sell the car without cats... where are you located ? some laws are different depending on where you live. Some cars have 1 Catylatic converter on it some have 2... Yours should have 2 on it. If you had NONE the car would be extremely loud.

emissions tests are every other year. if it was done in 02, this year you will need to get another test. If you have the slp Y-pipe (which has a larger diameter than the stock unit), the most likely if it passed you have two catalytic converters on your car. one near the driver side exhaust manifold, the other on the passenger side further down on the y pipe, its visible without having to jack up the car. They don't look the same. The one on the driver side is made a little shorter than the one on the passenger side.

hope that helped
