Trying to keep it street legal.

Trying to keep it street legal.
I tried a search for a few hours but it wasn't really getting me anywhere, so I apologize if this has been asked 500x before. But I'm ready to start moding my SS now that it's actually mine haha. I plan on starting with a full exhaust but I want to make sure it will pass NC inspection. I realize that LT are illegal anywhere but I am still going that route. Anyway I was wondering what would be the setup I would need to pass the emissions inspection here I was looking at the pacesetter and Texas speed y pipe combo with high-flow cats. This one: http://texas-speed.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=181&catid=8
would that pass?
would that pass?

I don't think LT's are necessarily illegal, not unless you are running full race headers without the provisions anyways.
Much will be determined by your future mods, but for a start keep most of your smog control systems like the egr/air if it has them. You don't list a year so it is a bit harder to specify but in most cases, cats and a good tuner are your best friends.
The combo should work however as long as you don't get too excited with other mods down the road.
Others may know a better smog friendly Y route though.

It's a 2002 and I'm located in Carteret County. My end goal is full exhaust (Long tubes, high flow cats and a cut out) and some intake stuff (ls6 manifold and larger throttle body). Nothing too intensive just some stuff to add a little more pep to its step. I think I can get away with having long tubes here as long as it passes emissions crap.

Just a plain safety and emissions inspection. Should be contacting Texas speed tomorrow and possibly ordering depends on if I sell my truck tomorrow. Thanks for all the help guys.

I'm In onslow county and you just have to go to a place that doesnt do a hardcore visual. Just get all your your O2's tuned out and you will be fine. Most shops love our cars and will be more impressed in how it sounds than anything, thats how I passed. Rev it up and do a burnout and youll pass is what my guy said.
