How are you getting the car through state inspection with no cat? Do they not insert a sniffer into the tail pipe anymore? |

New Jersey is a pretty good state to be an automotive collector and hobbyist. As stated no inspection of any kind is required on any car 25 year or older.
If you own a modern collector or high performance car and drive it less than 5,000 miles per year you can get collector car registration and also not be required to go through inspection. You will have to retain the cat but there is no check for it
As for engine swaps, hot rods and customs, those are all legal.
Only cars newer than 25 yrs old, do go though an inspection that consists of a PCM scan only
New cars are automatically issued a inspection sticker good for 5 years
While I won't say that NJ is the perfect place to live; for gearheads it is a good place.
