IF you have 2 of your Cats (mid pipe and down pipe) left you should be fine. It also depends where you live. I've seen cars that burn insane amounts of oil and look like they're about to fall apart pass in New York. In Cali though its a different story where its more strict. I love my Borla hush because its stealthy and my gutted up pipe because everybody is clueless.

what were you doing to get pulled and pop'd? i think the best way to avoid a second offense is to chill out when you're driving....cause, a lot of the time that people have been pulled over and had to go to the ref (that i know) were pulled over cause of driving like morons...not to say you are a moron, but you get the picture

Moved from General forum since CARB smog rules are more restrictive than other states.
The regular bi-annual smog inspection consists of two parts - the visual inspection and the 'sniffer' test. The visual part of the inspection is pass/fail. At a referee station (different than the regular smog check), if a referee recognizes an aftermarket part installed in place of OEM, the vehicle will fail unless that part carries a CARB E.O. (Exemption Order) number from the manufacturer.

noise pollution? Then that means your exhaust is too loud, that's all. But it would be a good idea to swap the stock dp back on.
I'm guessing it's CVC 27151

you'd be surprised how loud an aftermarket exhaust really is compared to a stock one... we're just too used to it by now haha.
