On my 96 SS, it was obvious by the smell at idle that the car did not have cats. And with the windows open you could smell it when idling at a stop light. I had a cop pull up next to me at a light one time and I was just happy he had his windows up. I added cats to the y-pipe and there was no power difference but it added peace of mind that I was closer to being legal(longtubes will never be legal in any state because it causes the cats to be relocated which is a federal law). I searched around and found a pair of 3" cats for a net price of around $40 so you can find them cheap enough.

Smell isnt noticible with with windows up, but if you drive with the windows down you better keep moving all the time. Once your car sits idle for more than 5 seconds with windows down the smell gets pretty annoying. My clothes and car smells like exhaust and after a few minutes it gives you a headache.
