No,
you will fail on a visual check if your state has that.

That was what I thought, just struck me as odd that no one has the MAC prochambers /w CATS.

I had my CEL come on once the cats came off. It was taken care of by a custom tune with the rear O2 sensors turned off. My buddy who inspects cars said that as long as the CEL is off, he could fudge the rest of the emissions test. This being due to the fact that the car is hooked to a computer and communicates any error codes, though the part with the exhaust sniffer is susceptible to....human error...

Well found the Prochambers with the CATS now I'm trying to find out if VA has laws about the CATS not moving form original location. (Adding LT's Also) Also found out that my state MIGHT not require a emissions inspection for first 4 years of the cars life.

That would be because I'm your neighbor....

I don't suppose you know if Long Tube Headers would cause issues?

Might be to late for me. I already left a message to cancel the headers and the pochmabers.

I have the Prochamber that goes to the factory cats, and it works quite well. Maybe that would be an option for you.
