jokes aside...is there anything i can do?

1.Email mackin and see if i can get anything out of them. (street legal, sound etc)

2.Or i can get a friend at the inspection place to sign off and keep the exhuast.

Yeah, just swap your stocker back on and show up at the inspection place, pay the fine for inspection, it isn't much, and swap your Espelir back on when you get home. I ran a totally catless custom setup including uppipes and turboback and never even got a funny look. Of course, I live in CO...
