Default Should I attempt an inspection?

Here's the situation.

My car has been put back to stock, completely. It's not throwing any codes and there's nothing wrong with the car. However, there are a couple things that worry me over the inspection.

My rear O2's, EGR and I believe my AIR have all been turned off. I'm pretty sure you're allowed up to 5 "Not Ready" codes.

Do you think I can still pass inspection?

I had 3 not ready codes and failed inspection. It was because the battery had been disconnected. You are only allowed 2 I believe.

What difference does that make? They don't do a sniffer test on OBD-II cars.

When you went for inspection, were your rear O2's/AIR/EGR already turned off? If not, then you would definately not pass. If they were turned off and you still failed, what did the tune do to make you pass?

I'm surprised you tried to pass inspection with your car like that, weren't you showing a Service Engine Soon light and throwing codes? If your SES light is on, you can gaurantee you're not passing inspection.
