I ask because I am looking at a car from out of state the current owner has the stock exhaust and cats, but it has an aftermarket system on right now. I was having second thoughts about getting it because of smogging issues, but if you are sneaking through with cats alone... I am super stoked!!!!

Yes, I sneak through (but I never thought much about it). My CAT was fried, so I purchased a brand-new one a couple years back. No problems with that thing bolted on the back.
Personally, I'd look for a car that has proven itself to pass California smog before I'd buy it. You can really get stuck with a big bill if that thing won't pass and you are holding the ignition key in your possession.
I wouldn't take the current owners word... Can they run the "California" smog tests on it in another state to see if it will pass?
