How much trouble can i get in for having a off road pipe?
I have a pretty messed up driving record and cant afford any more tickets. So i was wondering if i get caught would it be a citation, moving violation, or what?

The last time I was in the muffler shop, the sign on the wall said there was a fine of up to $2500 for tampering with, disabling, or removing the catalytic converter. Unless you are pushing mad amounts of power, it's not going to cost you much at all to have a good cat on your car.

They won't give you a moving violation, so your insurance shouldn't go up or anything. Even if you get pulled over, the cop isnt going to look underneath your car to see if you have a cat or not, unless its ungodly loud for some reason. But if you have a cat back exhaust and headers and no cat, I doubt anyone will care. Plus, the ticket is usually the kind where if you can fix it in 30 days, you don't have to pay, you just show up at court with your stock y-pipe in place and they see it, say OK, wave the ticket, and then you go home and install your other y-pipe.

Put a hollowed out cat in place of the OR pipe and call it a day. That will pass visuals.

not only that
I think the rule is that you cant remove the cat and above that they have to be in the stock location. Hence everyone with longtubes is illegal, whether they have all the emissions hookups or not, the cats arent going to be in the factory location. so does this mean im going to have to go with shorty headers and highflow cats in the factory location, i guess if i wanna be legal. But what fun is being legal, especially if i have to miss out on the awesome sound of longtubes and a cutout! good luck with the ultimate decision of, stay legal or make serious power.
