i dont live in a state that has inspections but from what i hear is that if you keep the bypass closed (ie route the exhaust through a cat back to the muffler) you should be able to pass the smog check, but as far a visual inspections, i don't know.

There are no such thing as a legal E-CUT (bypass). If your car came with a catalytic converter from the factory, then any modification to bypass that is illegal. That is the very purpose of the cat-conv.... reduce emission...

I live in PA. As far as I know all e-cutouts are illegal. Especially in Allegeheny and Beaver Counties.
