I was really worried that with headers and metallic cats, it would be an issue to pass Virginia's emissions inspection. However, I took the car in today, and passed by the skin of my teeth.
15mph:
HC Limit: 48ppm. Mine: 48ppm
25mph:
HC Limit: 53ppm. Mine: 39ppm
CO and NOx were not that close to the limits, but I wasn't worried about them. That's a huge relief. I don't know what my plan would have been if it didn't pass.
A car has to be 25 years old before it is exempt, so I'll have to pass at least one more test, but I'll worry about that when the time comes.
