2) I think 4pt harness is better than an airbag.
3) 2.5" isnt a huge amount yet it is toward the end of the scale.
I admit losing the cat wasnt the smartest thing but this isnt a rice rocket. no body kit, no annoyingly loud exhaust, no obnoxious wings or ridiculous wheels. It was modified to be able to run in autocross as well as be streetable. I agree with replacing the cat. But i really feel that this guy toasted me just for the sake of doing so...
And as far as Emissions goes.... Whats worse.... A gas guzzling soccer mom driven Cadillac Escalade or a 4 cylinder Acura? Oh well, such is life...

And in total my problem is the fact that he could have been out busting someone street racing or getting a criminal off the streets. But No, he took an hour to write me tickets. And on another note I simply feel its my choice if i remove an airbag, but yes the car should have a cat. but do I need FIVE summons' to prove that matter? I dont feel I do.
Sounds rediculous to me. I agree with everyone else, all those things were illegal so quit your bitching.
