I'm in MO yes you need your cats on there. Most of the time it really depends on the shop you goto to get it inspected. I say leave it so you shouldn't run into problems at the shop.

why not just slip the inspector $20? Its not any diffrent. Either way you are still breaking the law. They will give you a pay to pass option. here it is like $150. You just throw $150 down twoards getting it fixed once a years, and before you know it it will be working fine.

If your car was equiped with cats, they they are required by law. Otherwise they wouldn't be there in the first place.

i know the owner of a shop that does insections so that isn't my worry i need to know if i will need them for emmission fume and if the are doing some twisted law about any car older than 96. that is my concern.
