Well depending on where you live you can generally find somewhere that will pass your car. With a tune that disables all of your codes you could MAYBE get away with it, it just depends on if they feel like looking under your car... Most of those "mechanics" just look for the SES light. But if your car is really loud as I suspect it is, then it may raise a few eyebrows My friends and I got lucky and found a guy at a junk yard who will pass our cars, cats or not

You could always just buy a catted Y and switch it just for inspection and then afterwards switch it back. I have heard of a few people doing that but it seems a little annoying.
