Car Has No Catalytic Converters.

Location: Nebraska

In 2023 I purchased a 2020 Dodge Charger Scat Pack from one of those dealerships that specializes in cars with branded titles. Test drove it, and it drove smooth. The exhaust is very loud, but you can see it clearly has aftermarket exhaust on it so I just chalked it up to that. I ended up buying the car.

Fast forward, I've had work done on it several times, including getting the exhaust resecured within the first week because you could feel it hitting the floor when you'd go over bumps, several oil changes and most recently some warranty work on some front suspension parts using the extended warranty I purchased with the car. After all that suspension work, it became clear that the steering rack needed replacing. The warranty company refused to approve the new rack over the phone like they had everything else, and sent an inspector out to look at it themselves. When my mechanic told me they'd be sending someone else he warned me there's a good chance my warranty will be voided when they see the modified exhaust, especially since I have no catalytic converters. Well needless to say I was pretty shocked to hear this. I knew the exhaust was loud, but I always chalked it up to the aftermarket mufflers.

Anyway, a quick Google search tells me it's illegal to sell a car that has no catalytic converters providing it was originally equipped with them, which is any car since 1975. What I don't know is what I can do about it. I mean it's been over 3 years, and used cars are sold as is, but then again it appears to be an illegal sale. Any advice would be appreciated.
