Default Emissions and magnaflows?

I gotta go for emissions and im gutted right now. No 1st cat and a straight pipe. I was wondering If I can pass with one cat (main) if i put it back on. Also i was thinking of getting magnaflos since the car is gonna b up on the lift.

The other option is to get a highflow cat since i am going turbo very soon (but will those pass emissions)

This is in gergia btw

As long as your main cat is good I think it will pass....Go for a no pass no pay smog station if you can....

Try to borrow someone's stock system if you can. That might be easier.

manufacturers put as few parts on cars as possible so you will probably need to put it exactly how it was stock. hi flow cats can pass even with california emissions but im not sure on all of them. also, all cat-back exhaust systems are legal as long as they dont break sound barrier. headers on the other hand arent legal. some people do make legal headers for cars but im not sure about sc300s or not. most headers dont pass emissions though at least in california. not sure how strict it is there.
