Those shop owners also report what are clearly EPA fishing calls asking if you will remove cats or tune a car that they gutted the cats on. The local diesel shops won't touch tampering with a 10 foot pole, the Feds don't play one bit on that.

In every LS focused forum I've been on cat deletes were super common. It wasn't hushed or anything, it was more like standard that you'd go catless on LT headers and adding cats was the exception.
Hopefully the next administration guys these unelected bureaucrats and rolls back all their overreaches. Whenever that comes (won't be soon enough).
