Considering that federal law in the US requires that any car post 1972 (I think that's the correct year) have a catalytic converter (installed as original equipment) to pass emissions (excepting those with special permissions, which only include special use vehicles and those which obviously have no need for one), I think you need to check into that before you go calling me wrong.
