Believe it or not, but I had the codes deleted - even made a special trip to MTI for it last weekend. The diagnostic machine at the testing center flipped out and couldn't communciate with my OBDII so they had to tailpipe test. Guy said even if the computer had communicated he would have failed me because of the gas smell! (he did a visual cat check) That focher...

**** I am getting the codes deleted for my cam, already had them deleted for the cats, I hope this **** works when I go. Do you know the guys who did the inspection? Is there anyway they can look the other way on it?

It could work for you... apparently what happened to me just happens occassionally, sometimes a given testing center's computer just can't communicate with any random OBDII. When that happens they default to sniffer test. Sniffer test = BAD. I was 10 times over the limit for hydrocarbons at idle (but passed at throttle!).
You'd have to find the right guy to look the other way. They could get big fines for doing that.

Other codes that need to be deleted are thrown for other parts of the emmissions system that might cause you to fail.
Looking the other way is a crap shoot. Some places dont care and other places do. You can always try, its free, and if they fail you, just try somewhere else.

If it makes you feel any better (or maybe worse) I don't have to run cats but I'm going to anyways. They sounds so much better for a very minimal power loss. It is worth it to me.
