Hey Paul,
That thing wouldn't pass inspection in the US, you'd get a critical
violation on your emissions test (an annual thing). In Massachusetts,
that means you have 14 days to get a cat fitted onto your car or your
registration would be seized, you'd get a $250 fine and 2 points added
to your license for 6 years ($50 per point).
:P
