I was watching video of police checkpoints last night. They were stopping and inspecting cars that looked like they street race or cars that had been modified.

This reminded me that I have a test pipe on my car. Do cops know to check for these? If not, what exactly are they lookng for?

If caught, what penalties could I face?

yes they know what to look for underneath. A test pipe does not look like a cat at all.

I am no expert, but I believe it is a 1,000 dollar fine if you are operating a vehicle with no cat...
don't quote me on this though, I'm sure someone else will chime in with correct info, if there isn't a thread already.

Just weld some cat shields around your testpipe and your all good for looks. I worked for me when I had my car and my car was far from stock.

I believe any removal of smog equipment is a $2,500 fine.

Get a rallye cat...
Hopefully the fumes won't knock them out though...
