Well for me I gutted it and I have passed for 3yrs now. But they do a visual inspection to make sure you do have a cat. So if you cut it off, you will fail. But by gutting it you stillcan pass thevisual, now the accual testing the gases of the exhast, I would say if you have passed with all test being on the low side, you should be able to pass.

I was excited when I heard the news here in Illinois. So excited that I got rid of the Cat on my '93, and I laughed at my dad cus he has to take his 2000 chevy in every 2 years. I do love my state, tho I could do without the mandatory insurance thing (I'd still carry insurance, but it would be one less thing to fumble for when the cop is at my window)
