I need to get a new catalytic converter and i was wondering is it possible to just not put a new one on and get away with it? Our state dont have car inspections and i really dont feel like paying $200 for the part and $50-$100 for labor.

United States federal law prohibits the removal of a converter without the installation of a new one. Also, the oxygen sensor will kick over without one and cause loss of performance and gas mileage.
