I could be very wrong but I believe local/state police wont/dont/cant enforce federal laws like that. I've driven around without a cat on my car for 6+ years and I've been pulled over once... I pulled off to the side of the road which happened to have 4" of grass on it. The cop did lean down and glance under my car but never once questioned if it had cats - I just assume that's what he was looking for. He then asked me if my Hoosier QTP's were legal in which I got out and pointed out the DOT rating and told him I had a tread depth gauge he could use to verify they had a legal amount of tread left on them - I didn't actually have one and luckily he I had no idea what I was talking about.
I'd also say my car is pretty loud and I drive past cops all the time with it and have never been pulled over for that reason.
