Default Need help passing inspection in ftw

So im the worst driver ever and wrecked my eg. My crx and ef dont have their motors in at the moment and i need to get my ek to pass inspection. It doesnt have a cat and its throwing cel's 22, 41, 54, 65 and 91. The exhuast mani isnt bolted to the exhuast yet and i dont have time to fix all these problems now but will fix them asap. Can anyone help me get a sticker so i can get to my jobs?

Bolt the exhaust manifold down. Are your O2 sensors connected? Start by clearing all the codes from the ECU. Drive the car to see which codes return/repeat.

Just buy a cat! You're risking it big time driving without one. More noise and black smoke sure will catch the patrol's eye.

Yeah, I am not sure but you may be able to buy a used one from a local junk yard.

I didn't know that. Is that a measure to dissuade thieves from stealing and reselling them?

No idea, but as far as I know you cannot purchase a used catalytic converter from a junkyard. And for the record people steal cats for the precious metals in them...
