First, how the hell are you passing CA emissions with secondary cats removed?? The entire reason these cars have secondary cats is CA emissions standards, they catch the shit that gets through the primary cats during initial startup while the primaries are still warming up.

Second, I'm surprised CHP & local PD doesn't pull you over constantly. Have seen numerous shorts of them harassing Camaro's, Mustangs, & Hellcats for running open valves or being in track mode. Even if you stay in touring, the valves will still open up at throttle. That's OE factory, not the driver.
Ive only been pulled over by LA County on PCH for open valves. I've learned that NPP is a must and before they come up to the window you'll need to be in Touring Mode. They visually need to see an S or TR on the dash to pursue it further. I've yet to be asked to pop my hood and unless your a CAMARO guy im technically still running CATS just not 4 of them.

My only other concern is my CAI. I need to get the blue filter vs the red so im able to say its the GM Factory performance one. A simple google seach on the side of the road im assuming they will go by color.

Will see how this goes. Its an easy fix if im forced to go back to 4
