state inspection station
They don't check for mufflers they just make sure the exhaust exits the rear bumper.
You will only fail for:
Non functional emergency brake or failing brake system
Headlights/high beams not functional
Turn signals
Balding tires
Check engine lights

I've passed with muffler deletes at many sketch and non-sketch inspection places. I also passed with headers, high flow cats and exhaust without issue as well.
