can i use stock jdm catylic convertor and pass?

my setup,
stock intake => jdm h22 header => straight pipe as of now => 1.75 stock accord pipes => stoclk accord resonator => accord lx exhaust

so lets say i weld a jdm catylic convertor on tomorrow and keep the 1.75 stock accord ***** would i pass?

one last thing my headers are wrapped would that be bad if the ref takes a look at it?
i've done a search btw but noone aimed it towards the catylyic convertor

As long as you have a functioning cat. converter, preferably stock or near stock ten you should be fine. It's when you have a shiny stainless high flow cat or modded cat that you need to worry.

There should be no reason that header wrap would cause you to not pass, that would be going too far on their part. Only thing is, it makes the header look more suspicious (aftermarket) which would make them question the part.

 

thanks for the input vtecvillain i also have a carsound high flow catylic convertor that im planning to slap on in the near future with another project i have planned on the accord it says its carb aprroved that wouldnt pass? gets too hot?

 

My carsound cat didnt really help me out to pass emissions, although I didn't have EGR hooked up at that time either.
