+1.

Right from the official inspection procedure

17. – INSPECT AIR POLLUTION CONTROL SYSTEM (1973 and Subsequent Models) FOR:

* Installation.
* Operation.
(NOTE: This includes the catalytic converter and the fuel tank filler pipe.)

Had my exhaust welded to the header, they didn't realize until after the work that I didn't have a cat and freaked out, "Do you have cash? I don't want a paper trail leading to me saying I worked on your car without a cat." ....Yeah it's pretty important in VA.

Even if you paid cash, they should still have created a repair/work order.
