Question about running catless

Running catless stinks up the air in a significant way. I think that's why we have cats in the first place. Since most of us have cars and all of us breathe, I don't see why anyone should get a pass on this on a daily basis. Hey, we all would like greater performance, but dude… sometimes it's more about what's good for everybody. Some regs are stupid, but not tnis one. Kids breathe the air, too.

LA before cats:
Population growth is as much of a problem or more than the pollution I put out from my catless midpipe.
One is just easier to get conceptualize than the other.
Maybe we should restrict the number of children allowed within a certain population density.
Anyways it's all a thought exercise.
If I registered my car 20 minutes north of my current location I the Drive Clean test wouldn't apply.
The regulation changes the further you are from a large population density. AKA Toronto or Ottawa

Negatives on Engine for going Catless?
I was talking to a tech that specializes on Rotaries and he mentioned that one car that came in to their shop had their engine messed up because of him going catless. According to him. When u go catless and u stay on stock everything, the engine has to Compensate for the less restrictions of no cat making the engine stress more and causing problems since everything is stock and made to run with the pressure of a cat. Another tech i talked to today said otherwise. So who should i believe

Many of us have been catless for years.
Never heard of anyone claiming it causes engine failure, that's BS.

i heard BHR has the OME CATs for sale but i cannot seem to find them on their site. I wanted to fins out if they really do have CATs for sale because i heard 3rd party CATs have a shorter lifespan

Cats don't add that much restriction anyways. The reason why people remove them is that RX-8 ones can plug up quickly, especially if you don't keep the ignition system in check.
If you don't have to worry about inspection and can live with the smell, yeah, you can go catless.

How many of you do this? ie midpipe, gutted cat whatever. Is it that hard to get away with in Ontario? I am thinking of buying a midpipe of some sort. yes I do realize I wont pass emissions, not that that matters anymore As far as i know vehicles less than 7 years old do not require a test. Anyways I just want to know if this is a good idea or not. Also please don't tell me to just get a hi flo cat. Thanks!
