depends on the state's laws.

Most states only test emmissions, in this case if you didn't remove the Cat the car will pass.

But, some states have visual or noise tests that might are subject to additional restrictions.

Ask the muffler why it will fail? and and find out the law.

Mufflers have absolutely nothing to do with reducing emissions. They "muffle" the sound of the car's exhaust. The Catalytic Converter is what will affect the "smog check" and if you don't touch them, you'll be fine.

WHY ARE YOU YELLING?
