I'm in the car hobby and considering how many people just think stuff like noise regulation and air quality measures is just nonsense solely on the basis of "I do what I want, bitch", I'm not hopeful.

Ever live somewhere without emissions testing? Welding straight pipes in place of cats becomes a point of pride.

Probably also helps that the materials in catalytic converters can be pretty valuable on the scrap market.

That doesn't seem to be the norm here and we're pretty lax on emissions testing requirements. It was a bigger issue in California when I was in the car scene there than anywhere else i've lived. And their emissions are stricter than most places (if not all) in the US.
