Default Emissions in Illinois

I got my 1st notice to get my car tested. Those of you without cats, did you have any problems? Im pretty sure my car will pass cuz Speed Inc did all my work but Im a little worried about them looking under the car. The car is loud with the headers & cat-back & they'll definitely know its not stock. How worried should I be? Did any of you have problems without cats?

Thanks

Get all the SES lights programmed out of the computer and you'll pass. They don't do the exhaust test on the dyno for OBDII cars, just a computer scan for ses codes and gas cap check.

Passed in Elk Grove Village with no cats. No visual inspection. Nice people too. Gave them a thank-you rev on my way out.
