I was thinking of going the catted downpipe route and people haven't passed emissions this way either. So I said screw it, do my emissions before Feb 16th, install the catless DPs and not worry about it for 2 years.

OP, you have to remember that you aren't guaranteed to pass emissions with an aftermarket catted DP, possibility of still failing emissions
