n54 vrsf 3" catted downpipes

I was thinking of getting the vrsf 3" downpipes with the high flow catalytic converter. I live in Pennsylvania and was wondering if it will pass PA state emissions inspection.

I was thinking about this myself but my understanding from VRSF is that catted or non-catted... both will throw a CEL and require a tune to turn it off. I wish I had more info of how one would go about passing an inspection but everyone seems secretive about it.

Won't pass smog to my understanding. Only reason I would get these is to mitigate the nauseous gas smell if you're straight piped like I am, or have an after market open exhaust.

if you're going to run high flow cats always run the most high quality available

cheap high flow cats will cost you power and not last like oem, leave them stock or buy the best if you dont want to go catless. speaking from experience

They are not guaranteed to pass but do make for a smoother sound and potentially clear emissions.
The VRSF Catted N54 Downpipes are a new release.

I think they have a lifetime warranty so if they dont last I could just send them back
