I have the same setup, and there is no way in hell Iam going to pass. Anytime that you relocate the cats you will fail the visual part. The ory isnt helping either, if you had cats and a tune, you could pass the sniffer but still fail the visual. What Iam going to do is most likely swap out the headers for the stock manifolds when it comes time for emissions. Its going to be a PITA but it should'nt take that long to swap them. You could also put on some cats and try to find a shop that will take some money to pass you. Or pray that who ever does your testing will overlook the headers, but I doubt it. Basically when it comes to modding, Cali blows
