just depends..honestly no LT is legal, since it moves your cats from factory loaction, but most inspection shops will pass you as long as you have a catted Y pipe, and AIR & EGR long tubes...check the sponser...

I have lt's and a catted y here in Illinois and I have always passed. They don't do visual inspections here, they only check computer for thrown codes. Take the car to a local speed shop and have them tune out the unnecessary codes, they'll do that for around $50 or so.

longtubes arent legal anywhere. if you move the cats 6 inches from the factory palced areas you just violated the emissions law so you wont ever be 100% legal

Or you could move 50 miles south of Chicago into Kankakee county where there is no testing.Only around the big cities in Illinois are the only place they test here!!
