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.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
