getting around inspections without catalytic converters?

im hoping to buy 2crunk's mustang as soon as he gets back to me(hint hint, i can have the holding payment sent shortly after i get an address!), and i has a mac h pipe which as far as i know doesnt have cats. virginia requires inspection, should i just search ebay for a factory exhaust for the car and put it on so i get a sticker then just switch back, or can i buy the cats alone and put them on the o/r h pipe? what do you guys do to make your car "legal" stupid environmentalists needing their smog-friendly cars... its a kick in the groin for car enthusiasts... :nutkick:

Hey, you should've just asked me. LOL. Just kidding, it has an aftermarket MAC H-Pipe but its not an o/r h-pipe so you are okay with emissions......however, it isn't hard at all to install an h-pipe so you could register the car in Virginia and pass emissions, then order an o/r h-pipe and install it afterwards. When i get out of the military and move back to texas my 2003 GT wont pass emissions as is. I have to install an "el cheepo" h-pipe pass emissions and install my off-road prochamber once i pass. A hassle yes, but definitely worth it.

Woo, big load off my back! :grinno: I just sent a PM before reading this so disregard the part about me needing to shell out money for cats :grinyes:
