In connecticut there are 2 types. ODBI and ODBII cars more or less, The ODBI need to go on a roller and get the sniff test, the ODBII like your car is a PCM scan. It MUST detect so many systems in a "Ready" status.

IF you are throwing ANY SES/DTC codes, you need to address it, make sure the PCM is clear and then put enough drive cycles on her to ensure the monitors are set to "Ready"

As far as the LT headers and ORY, there is sometimes a visual inspection, it depends on the shop doing the work. I know a good one in Wallingford where I live and the guy is cool. Just scans them in and is not fussy about visual inspection. Feel free to PM me if you need the address.

Yeah like he said, as long as you're not throwing codes the only wild car is the visual. They might do it, they might not.
