Depends on what state you're in.

My guess is that it's illegal in california but you'll just have find a shop you can pay off.

Forget paying them off....find a cheap used torn up VC for $50, pop it on for the test, take it off, strip it, polish/paint it and sell it.

It doesn't affect emissions.

State vehicle codes are generally retarded.

Just to add to that; in CA while most hi-flow cats will pass emissions, it is illegal to change out your stock catalytic converter for anything but a stock replacement.
