NC doesn't exactly have emissions inspections anymore. Instead of sticking the sensor up the tailpipe to test emissions, they plug into the OBDII port and verify the number of faults. If you modify the car, you're fine so long as the computer thinks it's fine. If you're planning on removing the cats or changing something that wouldn't pass the visual inspection, then make friends with your local service station... Most stations don't even look under the cars, they just use the ODBII and trust the computer. I hope this helps.

Yeah just ask around to where people take their cars. I'm in Charlotte, there are several places that do, shall we say, "quick" inspections.
