pulled over several times, never been an issue, but I don't have an "OMG LOOK AT ME!!!" attitude while driving / or loud mufflers.
I do it because after 2 smog tests in a row requiring new cats on my old 97 sierra pickup I decided to keep the expensive cats up in the rafters of my garage and run gutted or o/r mid pipes on my cars. That was so BS. They didn't just fail smog, they broke apart and started rattling and eventually completely plugged up the exhaust and made the engine misfire.

I think I only ran around with the cats on the first week i had my car. After that it has been o/r h, then this current exhaust L/T's and mac prochamber non-catted. Never had any cop stop me to look under the car. Of course, I dont give them any reason to either.

Funny enough, I just swapped on my stock mid-pipe for smog.
I got pulled over and given a warning for 'loud exhaust' 2 days later. (Normally I am running a catted X that is MUCH louder)

I plan on keeping my factory mid pipe regardless of what aftermarket one I get. Easy enough to swap out every 2 years

How much are you willing to risk?
I always drove with an o/r pipe under the car, but I'd be so damn nervous driving around whenever I saw a cop. If you're willing to risk the fine, then go for it. Just keep fingers crossed you don't run into a cop with a hard-on for busting people for every little thing - I think I remember the ticket for that is pretty pricey.

Equal length headers, Dr. Gas x-pipe, flows to the rear bumper, starting to become too loud for my DD.

Does catless affect MPG on a mostly stock car?
