Then don't require street registration. You'll note that stock & sp
classes don't. In those cases, if you register & drive your illegal car
on the street, its completely your decision.
In the SM case, you're explicitly requiring a street registration, which
(by federal law) requires a cat. However, you're allowing folks to run
without cats, implicitly encouraging them to break the law.
You can't have it both ways. Either the car doesn't need to be registered
or it does. If you're requiring registration, you should require a cat.
Hell, I believe you're requiring "standard street equipment" like heaters
and interiors right?
