some states run the pcm through a test and if a certain number of items show "not ready" or that theyre turned off, its not gonna pass. Turning off the rear O2s in the tune actually requires like 3 different settings to be changed so you dont get a CEL which is enough to fail it on its own some places.

might just wanna keep your stock midpipe handy and whenever inspection time comes swap em around...sucks but its foolproof
Yeah in NC they do a visual, no sniff test here and it's getting harder to find someone to over look the visual inspection but those cat look a likes could work.
