Apparently it is, but nobody has been done for it, not even drift guys that drive on the road with straight thru pipes, My 33 had only straight thru pipes to a JunBL muffler, NO cat, sounded killa!!
Ive always heard "rumours" about there being a quite large EPA fine

Yeah thats probably why they don't enforce the Cat laws cause EPA fines can be 1000's of $$$$, and they would also have to prove that you removed the Cat and not the previous owner.....explains why they only defect.

my response to why isnt there a cat in your exhaust was gonna be wouldnt rspca have something to say about there being 1 in there.

the previous owner said there wasnt 1 in mine. when i went through regency they looked in the hole and around it for about 20min didnt say anything but they just made sure to say its too loud and needed to be changed anyways.

i cant picture anyone coping that fine as your not expected to be a car expert and know everything that has been changed on your car from standard.

I have a 4" straight through exhaust to a Dunk rear box no cats (meow) or mid muffler sounds the best

The EPA fine is $10,000 for breach of the regulations even if you didnt take the cat out they dont care

If you want a good result out of your skyline get a 3" dump to a 3" metal cat (hi-flow cat) to a 3" JunBL racing spiral exhaust all can be brought installed at Exhaust Technology Goodwood road Kings Pk

Lol free plug if you dont mind :P

Jenkies said he would gut my cat for me, but might just go with a hi flow cat. Are the X-force ones any good?

That a BS rumor.

It's a $10,000 fine if you are business and you are caught red handed as it only the maximum fine not the fine in every case. For general public it's more like $500 and once again you would have to be caught with the hammer and chisel in your hand. Cats only last around 7 years or 70,000 km's (new ones might last longer) and then they generally get spat out the back of the pipe after rattling around in the can for months so it would be very hard for them to prove that you did it. Also if you are running rich then they don't last anywhere near that time as the extra fuel burns them out, i don't know how many cats have died on dynos before the tuners get the fueling right, 5 really rich runs and you cat would starting to become a molten mess.

    • Have you flushed the initial fluid yet? It should look like a rainbow unicorn shat glitter into it. 2nd or 3rd fluid change is when you party.
    • all brand new unit from Tomei, fluid, bearings, etc. Tomei said they call it a 1.5 lsd because its 100 percent lock up under acceleration and 50 percent under deacceleration.  as I mentioned I used their fluid, install and their break-in procedure, (alot of figure 8's) but even when driving straight, or even slowly backing out of garage for first time, (at 2 mph) then driving to and from figure 8 parking lot, each tire in the rear would sporadically grab, skip, bounce, shutter and skip, shutter back a force I could feel causing clutch to slip then grab, at any speed. shaking entire car. I removed unit, since I put stock back in and all is fine, via process of elimination, its something with the lsd unit itself. I wasn't going to beat up the entire car more or change anything else for no reason as I had a feeling something in the lsd itself was wrong as everything was fine before this alone was installed and I rechecked over everything else after first time backing out I suspected an issue. I'll probably sadly already need new tires now just from trying to drive it 5 miles and performing the figure 8 break in. but if someone has any ideas I'm all ears 
    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
