For example, the laws are so screwy that in California, you can get a ticket for having an aftermarket cat, even if it blows cleaner then stock. The law states that you cannot replace your cat with anything but a stock cat, no matter what.

If they find anything questionable under your hood they'll send you to the State Ref. He then will take note of everything and run through your car with a fine tooth comb.
