Can a marauder pass Ca SMOG sniffer test with the rear cats deleted?

My 1988 gets STAR station all the time. Probably due to age and I've failed before. STAR used to be called "Smog Test Only Station" where they are more thourough. Guess I can look forward now to my Marauder getting STAR station too I guess. >:-(
 
Why not gut the rear cats and then reinstall them? Visually they are there, but sound is improved ... No?
 
My experience is empty cats ring like a bell on acceleration....sound like crap!!:eek::shake:

Gut 'em and run a straight pipe through 'em!!:beer:
 
The question is whether it will pass a tailpipe sniffer test. It sounds like these STAR stations may be a bit more thorough than a regular emission station.
