Berks County requires an OBDII test for emissions. There is no visual for that test. If your CEL is not on, and all but one readiness monitors are complete, you will pass. The safety portion of the inspection does not require there to be a cat, so you should have no worries there. If a shop fails your car for safety inspection for no cat, you can call them out. But if your CEL is on, all bets are off. Unless you drive less than 5K a year- then you'd be exempt.

I inspected my friend's '99 GSX that has no cat, but he has tuning software that eliminated that code from the ECU. It passed with no problems.

The consensus is- and I agree- there is no really good reason to eliminate the cat. I could easily get my car to "pass" emissions every year with no cat, but i'd rather be legit, so I have a high flow cat.
