Most people won't do it under the tabel here in georgia. It comes with jailtime and a hefty 15k fine. Not sure about other states, but i'm sure theres stiff penalties. Besides, not fixing it isn't going to fix your problem, is it? P

^Well, when you live in a state with bull**** emissions laws, it's hard not to do it under the table... lol. I've never heard of a penelty like that... but idk, I suppose it would make sense that they'd have a srict law against it...
