Got a ticket for no cats...
yeah i realize i'm breaking the law, I mean I have limo tint and no cats. But just got it. Oh well if I get pulled over I get pulled over. I tend to keep it sane and not do too much stupid stuff. If he nails me he nails me. Price to play the game I guess
Thats a good attitude to have. Those are my feelings exactly.
as for the dumps you can just run some exhaust out the back so it looks like it exits the rear. i have done it many times and they never know the difference. as for the front plate they can pull you over for it it without you doing anything else. that is the whole reason for the front plate, just an excuse for them to pull you over and check you out if they want. as for the cats I have never had a cop ask me. I was kind of surprised to see that the OP had gotten a ticket for it. i have mine gutted so it looks like i have em.
I know my z06 friends were at a gas station during a cruise once and a HP pulled up, was like man nice cars, etc etc, wow wouldn't you know none of you have a front plate. Buddy just replies back, I got one in the car you wanna see? that was the last that was said about that.
another option is just to keep your car tagged in a state that doesn't require front plates

Hell, I still have an expired inspection tag from 2007 
Okay there!! You do that. I'm sure that cops love guys like you with tons of attitude over clear violations of the current law. Cats are required. Front plate is required. Dumped exhaust is illegal. Speeding is a violation. These aren't hard things to comprehend. If you're going to break the law, accept the possible consequences and don't be a dick yourself.

I've never been pulled over there but I think if things are slow they'll get folks for only going a few over the speed limit, good idea to go slow in there. I do have cats and a front plate (held on with zip ties), but my car is fairly loud when I get on it so thanks for the reminder to keep things quiet; I go down to the HEB in Friendswood at least a couple times a week.
BTW - I'm pretty sure I saw your car pulling in the Kroger parking lot about a week ago at 518 and 2351. I was getting my truck inspected at the little shop there. Pretty mean sounding ride.

I never had any issues with my 1980 Trans Am. You could clearly see the exhaust stop under the car when you were behind it and it didn't have cats. Never had any issues with cops, they usually waved. Didn't have a front plate either and had a busted(but working) taillight. That car would have sat and rotted before I put a front plate on it.
But I got pulled over one time for no inspection sticker and the cop just kinda stood back, looked at the car and let me go, **** that car wasn't even road legal. Didn't care about dumped exhaust, license plate etc. I guess classic cars are different though. In my 99 WS6 cops are always on my *** looking for something wrong.

has that ever happened to anyone??? ima ask my dad about that one... that's a bit insane... if they wanna start banding stuff on cars, band all those big rims like 24's and 26's with not tires cause they could hit a rock and get a blow out and have tires shreds hit a car that could cause a major accident... or the cars that has every inch of it covered in ******* fake chrome plastic **** cause that could blind someone and cause them not able to see for a sec or two and kill someone... sound ridiculous... well so is that...

yeah his explanation was "well in the winter time with the windows rolled up and the heater on, that exhaust can seep through the floor while you are driving and you black out and the next thing you know you wake up in the hospital"

When I have been pulled over I just clutch, kill the engine and coast to a stop, stick my plate in the front window and drop the windows.
Works so far.
But like someone else said, sometimes they just have nothing better to do. I pulled my SS out of the garage and rolled down a neighborhood street at about 18 or 20, turned the corner and got pulled over just because he wanted to walk around my car and look for something to ticket me for. He found nothing and I was on my way in about 40 minutes.

The exhaust has to exit beyond the cab of the vehicle. You can run dumps on a truck, because the cab ends in the middle of the vehicle. An Fbody is besically a hatch, therefore the exhaust must exit beyond the bumper.
And yes, people have become ill from exhaust fumes entering the vehicle.
