Call your local state police barracks and ask.

Seems that muffler laws are dependant upon state, where Catalytic converters are Federally mandated.

Haven't had a muffler on my Jeep for about 3 years... I wrapped my tail pipe around the rear axle wheelin' in 3' of snow.My father-in-law bet me I couldn't make it to his house... It won't hurt it and it sounds allright. I'm actually going to put a muffler of some sort back on it, I'm sick of the noise.
