25 years old is exempt man. No worries for you.

Oh, and no, they don't even bother to check. I got pulled over for no front plate on my old race car (no cats, no egr, no air pump, no charcoal chamber, all of the mods were off-road use only, 50mm ball-bearing turbo, 3" open exhaust, etc) and all I had to do was put the plate on the dashboard.

Being that they only do emissions in a handful of counties, they just don't care.

25 years old means it's exempt from taking emmissions tests. It's still a $20,000 fine to alter or remove any emmissions equipment from your vehicle. But to answer your question no cop has ever done a visual inspection of my car. It's illegal to remove anything, but to my knowlege we don't have any laws that enforce a visual inspection except at repair shops.

the only place they get you is when you go to re-license the car, and you havent passed emissions yet. Keep your cats and put them back in every 2 years :P
