NO! Unless there wasn't one when the vehicle was new from the factory.  Any
muffler shop can be turned in to the Feds and fined if they are bypassing
the cat. This also includes areas where Federal law is exempt. It is only
exempt for the refineries (Conoco, Exon, etc.), not the population here.
interesting.......These refineries well exceed the EPA air standards act.
