Cool NEW EXHAUST HELP!!!!!! Chicago people come in!

OK so this winter I plan on getting a set of pacesetter LT's and I was wondering if anyone knows the emission laws for illinois so i kno whether or not I have to get cat's or not because I use this car as a daily driver during the nice seasons. If i don't have to worry I will just get and ory but if not what kind of catted y do you recomend?

its part of their testing. they do it by me everytime i go for emissions. they check the gas cap to make sure it holds pressure(prevents gas vapor from escaping). it depends on what state, where you are in that state, and what tests they have to run. i got a computer scan, run on their dyno smog machine, and gas cap check on my 96'. these guys must not of liked me.
