What is your problem not passing emissions with manifolds and stock exhaust? Shouldnt have a problem unless you have bad cats/ses light. If your having some kind of problem that you dont know throw in a bottle of guaranteed to pass see if that works.
this post reminds me of this picture
anyways, my 2 cents is to find someone who is lenient on certain performance stuff, they are out there you just need to find them
its good to be buddies with them too, I know while I worked at a Pepboys I made lots of friends with the techs in the garage and now whenever I need something I just call them up, e.g. pass inspection
now if you have a state imposed emissions where the state tests the car, good luck because thats a tough situation

Well if the SES light is on that is an automatic fail. At least in CT. Now if its a bad cat...you should get a sulfur eggish smell coming out of the exhaust that is usually associated with a bad cat. If the SES light is on get your hands on a code scanner...can be used for free from a place like advanced that will let you know.
SES could be a number of things, 02 sensor, bad cat, bad/malfunctioning egr..
