i think it was a mistake to get rid of my cats, not to mention inspection is harder to get, since the inspectors can smell it.. its a very obvious smell and they know whats up, you can pass, but you will PAY for it.
Got the same set up. Sometimes the smell is stronger sometimes not so bad. I have never had a problem with inspection. Nor have I ever had to pay more for passing inspection. It sounds AWESOME! Note: It's not the DD. Unless I want it to be.

Only noticed when the windows were down, which was all the time since the car had no a/c.

Going without cats hasn't ever bothered me, even with dumped TDs. I guess the sound makes up for it
