best exhaust for an S/C?

I don't think they use the exhaust snorkel anymore, some shops check for a cel and run an obII test, if it comes clean you should be good to go.

How would it pass a test with no cats? Dubious shops excluded of course.

You could always weld the factory shields from the stock cats around the test pipes to help with visual inspections (I'm pretty sure everyone does a visual).

With my VRS X pipe I bought two cheap cats, gutted them, and JB welded them around the X pipe... it looked like it was a catted X pipe and the welds actually held up for quite a while.
