if you upgrade to the ky-pro-jelly it definitely helps the smoothness of the emissions and improves cleanliness of the output.

isnt kpro basically a tuned RSX type-s ECU? so when the plug in to the ECU it will come up as an RSX? i guess that would mean it depends on how lenient a shop would be to pass you if you showed up as an ECU from a different car...

KPro and AEM EMS is a turnoff for me because then i would have no clue on how to get my emissions checked

Just kidding. As far as I know about PA, I think it's just a visual inspection, so you just need to have your catalytic convertor available. I think NJ and NY actually hook up your exhaust for testing. If your SC kit is carb legal/exempt, you should probably be fine. I'd ask the manufacturer about it's emissions.

in PA they plug into your ODBII port, so if you have no cat but arent throwing a CEL, you will pass.

Is your car throwing a cell?
If not then your fine, thats the only way they will fail you.
