Alot depends on the inspector, if the guy is a stickler for the rules, then yes he can fail you, if you get one that doesn't give a damn chances are you could have a 6-71 blower sticking out of your hood and you'll pass.
You might want to go to your local section of the board, and ask about "friendly" inspection stations, unless the inspection is done at a state run station whos only function is to inspect cars, chances are you can find a station that'll overlook certain things
(I used to get mine done at a friends station, I got away with ALOT)

1. Physically go to a local inspection station.
2. Ask who the inspector is.
3. Ask the inspector, "Will my car pass a state inspection with a sealed exhaust cut out?"
If he says, "No.", repeat steps 1-3 at a different shop.
That is the only way to know. Don't waste your time making an appt and "crossing your fingers."
