If you manage to somehow pass the visual you will almost certainly fail the sniffer because of the primary cat delete.

Seeing as these cars are so new i would think no one would use the sniffer. If you have the headers on and no cel then i would say yes it passes emission.

If anything a tune can make all the emission codes appear fine.

If your state does a visual inspection then you're SOL. You'll have to swap headers back to stock or rewire the O2 sensors fore and aft of the secondary cat, assuming you still have it equipped. Otherwise you can just run O2 sensor spacers or a minicat and you'll pass the readyness test and not throw a CEL. The ones from big daddies garage aren't as cheap as the autozone ones but they are one piece and they are stainless.
