Default CA against doing exhaust work?

i recently went to an exhaust shop to have my y-pipe fitted on. the guy was giving me a hard time at first about doing it, because he said he could get fined for working on a car without cats. i said well my car isn't registered in this state, and i'm just stationed here so what's wrong with it? he ended up doing it after i told him the guy down the road did it on my buddy's z. is it like this everywhere in ca?

I'll be in Texas, at latest by mid next year, so no worries for me. Tags on bike don't expire in CA until May 09, tags on Explorer expire Nov 08 but smogged last week. Soon as I get to Texas changing over registration to TX.
