WHat was said above is legallt and technically true...But...
Currently in OK they do not do inspections, I ahve not ran cats for several years now after messing with GM and their idoits techs that refused to reaplce my cats as a pair which forced me into the dealer several times to have the alternate cat replaced when it flowed inproperly compaired to the newer cat.
The state is talking heavily on bringing the inspection program back due to the amount of cars that are on the road that are not being taken care of and are being driver unsafely due to no inspection.
For now you are safe, but it could change in the next year or so.

Cats in ok even if they do get inspections back they dont actually run your
vehicle on the rollers. They just do a visual inspection to make
sure no check engine lights are on and make sure that all the
emmision devices are still present.. most of the techs werent able
to flag enought to do the inspections and all they did was make sure
your chk eng light wasnt aon nad your lights and horn worked and
they passed yah.
