I had two vehicles that had bad cats when I lived in AZ.. they wouldn't pass
with the converter defective.. but when they were hollowed out.. they both
passed fine. Haven't had a converter under a vehicle since.
Fortunately, here we don't even have to pass a visual.. if/when they change
that.. I'll have an empty cat welded into the pipe.
