Passed emissions (Steve W chip/premuff)-headers here I come!

I took my car in today for inspection 90 days ahead of registration being due. My goal was to get the emissions out of the way so I can put my new headers on this weekend. I've got a Steve W chip, and a Fabspeed pre-muffler, so I wasn't sure what to expect.

It was close, but I did make it. It was kind of funny, 'cuz the guy was saying that my cat converter was wearing out, and he figured next year it would be no good, and I'd fail. Although, he did say the S/S exterior of the cat looked nice

The whole time, I'm pretty amazed a 20 year old car with 120K on the motor, with modified ignition and no catalytic converter can pass the more stringent emissions of today. Now, I'm hoping next year that they'll buy my story that the headers have dual integral catalytic converters-the square parts there at the bottom- Yeah, that's the ticket!
