Default exhaust issues

ive been running open lts for a few months now, and now inspection time has arrived i have a flowmaster catback, but i really want to go with true duals. the problem is how do i get it to pass inspection with no muffler/cat?no emissions for my year here in missouri. i see all these 00, 01 and 02 ls1 cars with true duals but no cats. im stumped. my religious dbag of a dad refuses to allow me to cut any corners where state emissions is concerned, if you catch my drift, so it has to be legal. how would you go about getting this damn thing legal? all my searches end up with another true dual setup w/o a cat, not helping me at all

its very simple...all you do is get some bullet cats and weld them right after the collectors.
