It really depends on how strict they are. Do they pop your hood? If they do, I'm sure most people there know what they're doing. It's their job.

If it's just a simple emissions test from your exhaust, they measure it from your tailpipe. An open dump tube isn't going to affect it much unless you're revving up inside the inspection bay.

If it's just a kit put on your stock car, it should pass emissions. Drag technically won't pass visual inspection. Greddy should.
