Hey Scotty, I drive a 2016 Volkswagen Jetta TSI sport with a 5 speed manual transmission and it has 84,000 miles. I take good care of my car and change the oil every 3,000 miles and so far the only issues I've had are a hose went bad for the wiper fluid. My question to you is, do you foresee any adverse effects of me removing my catalytic converter to make it louder and faster? I understand it could lead to dumping rich fuel into the engine but I wanted to hear your overall thoughts on it, thanks.
Under the Federal 1990 Clean Air Act, it's ILLEGAL to remove a catalytic converter without replacing it with one that is in compliance with the requirements of that act.
See page two of this document, from the EPA:

My intentions were to no longer drive the car on public roads, and use it as a track car only. I understand that as long as cars are registered for "Offroad Use" they do not have to have a catalytic converter.
No, that's not right, according to the EPA. See page three of the same document.

Thank you for the clarification
