It all really depends on where you take it. A properly tuned LS1 would have no problem passing emissions without cats. It would obviously not pass the visual inspection, though. So, you need a place that will overlook the absence of cats.

That's correct. As long as you had all of the other emissions equipment in place like the EGR and AIR. I haven't had any place actually pop the hood to look for them, but I also don't have to pass a sniffer test.
BTW, is your car sebring silver? Looks sharp. I'm guessing you got it repainted since I see the mirrors are body color.

yeah i don't need a sniffer but i know they will look under the car for cats.
and with the paint yeah i think it is sebring silver but i bought the car visually like it is now. i know that the hood is a suncoast and the spoiler is the rksport 3 peices. the front ground effects are also different so maybe they had everything painted at one time i don't know really thnx though.

From what I understand Pa no longer does a visual inspection for emissions. I ordered the Dynatech Supermaxx system which includes cats and my inspection is due next month. I had an electric cutout which is illegal but the shop I go to never failed it. A buddly of mine parents run a shop and I will ask him about the visual, and their not the shop I use.

According to the states site: http://www.drivecleanpa.state.pa.us/...pa/default.htm
You will only have a gas cap test and computer diagnostics. So, if your gas cap isn't leaking fumes and you're not throwing any codes, you should pass. No visual inspection.
