The NY law is strange - the entire 1995 year might be exempt from this law, just the 1 year. For the most part NY and CA require CARB (calif) replacement cats only. That often means dealer only. If the dealer doesn't have it, you might have to sell your car out of state.

My question is , was it really necessary for the dealer to weld up something? Normally entire exhaust systems are made of bolt up sections. Or maybe if I need a new cat it will come terminated with a bolt on flange , and i now don't have the matching part in my car as per the dealer repair. So the shop might say they had to order the matching muffler. Somebody would have to have BTDT.

the NY law

Not absolutely sure you can't use a generic. Who has time to study?:
