"specially constructed vehicle"

Yes, if the engine block is after 1972.
My car is titled as a 1965 specially constructed vehicle, so the new law (hooray) disregards the engine block year and goes by the year listed on the title. As you can see... there is absolutely no way a cat would fit on this exhaust setup.

Re: Red car passed inspection... it's really street legal now!
Lots of people and shops offered me a sticker for the car, but I wanted to make it legit and not get anyone in trouble. Feel much better about it now. Might have to print out the section that states I only need the back license plate if I roll through Ashland, have heard they like to give tickets for no front plate.
Rolled by Performance Autosport yesterday and didn't see your car. Brought it by 3x so far and you weren't there. Maybe I'll have to call ahead of time.
