The car, a Subaru Legacy, slightly... personalized. I’ll call it rice wine because some would call it a sleeper and others a river but both would probably agree its a fucking mess. The phone call:
After a few questions about how things had been done and with marginally acceptable answers he mentions he replaced the entire exhaust from the engine back. I ask a very basic question, will this pass inspection? I get a very quick of course brah. Eh i sense a problem. Does it still have the cats? There a pause..... Uh...... Hey brah did I remove the cats? Yea brah I took them off.
This is my buddy and I trying to raise the reg flag

Is this the same one you posted before?
It is worth noting that with the Subaru’s ECU logic, the questions “does it still have cats” and “will it pass inspection” are tenuously related to one another. It is remarkably easy to not only turn off the p0420 code, but also reduce the threshold on the readiness monitors to the point where it will actually report ready to the emissions scanner regardless of the O2 sensor values, provided the voltage isn’t 0. My WRX passed MA state emissions for 4 years with a single 200-cell cat and a full turboback exhaust.

I’m more concerned with the fact that he didn’t know if he took them off or not

Yeah...that is a problem. At least when I bought a Pontiac Bonneville reassembled in a Western Pennsylvania man’s backyard, I bought it from the guy who did the reassembling.

Yeah.. I wouldn’t trust that car as far as I could throw it after hearing that.

I was overlooking that but his complete lack of knowledge of what he did to his own car was horrifying

Yeah, that’s a major red flag.
