I have the same exhaust on mine too. I've gone through inspection twice now with no cat and still passed the visual, guess they think the resonator is a cat. . .

I was in court on day and another guy was there for a sound violation on his civic. When the judge told the officer there to go listen to the exhaust, he came back and said he here's Harley's louder than that all the time. So he judge was cool and dropped the ticket.
