Default Can I run one cat?

As I was looking through car domiain at someones TA, I noticed that he is running what looks like a single cat on the I pipe. Can you do this and still pass smog? Seems easier to install and cheaper as well. Any thoughts?

Well I am assuming that I am getting a "hookup" on the visual, b/c I will be running LT's. I just want to know if the sniffer test will pass with the same results..

if you are getting the "hook up" on the visual, why not use andrew jackson to get the dude to hook up another cars tail pipe that will pass emissions for you. I've also found out this money that Beer goes a long way with auto mechanics. auhhh Bribery,, such a beautiful thing!

Well its my friend that does the smogs. He sys he can only pass me on the visual because the camera cannot tell what is legal or not, but he is being monitored by a state camera. He cant risk doing another car in place of mine.
