I have a custom burned superchip, with off road X-pipe and 40 series origional flow, and bunch of other mods under the hood, no supercharger yet,

My dad is going to have to take my stang in in a week or 2 while i'm far away at school, there is no chance I can get home to swap the stock H-pipe back on, so Can my dad pass the emissions test?

they recently switched to the OBDII test in CT, so I don't really know what to expect, I have no trouble codes, and my car isn't that loud at idle

this is my car

If there are no trouble codes, the car will pass the diagnostic portion...

It will not pass the visiual inspection if the mechanic looks underneath your car.

ya not sure if they do the visual, or what they require. i know in CA you have to hav ethe stock H and anything done to the car has to have an EO number.

even the chip

even the superchip has an EO number, even though its burned for off road exhaust, most of the parts on my car have EO numbers, but I don't think they are that strict as CA, I'm just hoping they won't do a visual,

Wouldn't they have to lift my stang up to do the visuall? or use a mirror which, even still would be hard to see in there, if you get on the ground its is pretty hard to see if there are cats from the header, I guess it all depends on the place, any suggestions about where to take it?

they list gas stations, car dealerships, repair shops, tire places, the DMV (ha ha)

you will be ok.. i am almost 100 percent sure CT uses the same setup as MA.. as long as your car passes the obd2 test you get a sticker no dyno needed.. BUT if the guy is a dick he can tell you have no cats (smell) he can fail you for that...

As long you don't need a graph,visual,and as long he doesn't smell the fumes,you might be alright.
