Default headers and emissions in PA

I heard a rumor that pennsylvania and other states will FAIL your car if you have full length headers even with cats and the proper connections.
the rumor goes that because the cats are 6-8 inches behind the stock location it wil not pass.
Has anyone had any problems with this ? it doesnt seem to really make sense as long as you are running clean should it matter ? Im still getting them installed i may just ahve to go get tested a couple times til i find a good station
thanks

Technically any NON-FACTORY location of a Cat is in violation of Federal law. You are not supposed to replace cats that are under 50k either. It's all a bunch of BS. If it blows clean WTF?!?!

I'm exempt from emission testing because I put on less than 5000 miles a year...

Since the Factory didn't put my CATs on a shelf in my garage, I guess I broke the law. Good thing I moved from PA to AZ where a simple LS1edit modification will pass their joke of a OBDII scan.
