Its a $10,000 fine if you get caught de-catting a car.

Also we have the whole defect notice system, which I'm pretty sure the US doesnt have. We actually hold the end user accountable.

    I can already picture the episode of Highway Patrol now where Johno gets caught for the fifth time in the same car and cops a couple hundred bucks fine and the loss of a demerit point.
