Default Passing inspection with test pipe?

I gotta get my car inspected. Test pipe is on, the mechanical o2 simulator is working like a charm, no CEL... will my car pass with it on? Aside from wondering about some anal retentive inspector looking under the car for the Cat, is there much to worry about?

they usually won't look under the car...specially on a newer car...what kind of exhaust you got? if you have the stock exhaust you should be alright...since its that new the will only plug the thing they use, and if you don't have a CEL its ok...

That would be awesome. Maybe Dolemike can be a test case and if he passes it will save those of us with testpipes a lot of aggravation once a year.

you need to register your car in a county that does not have emissions test, no worries
