My car has cats "with some internal pieces missing" and they really really looked long and hard with the mirrors because it didn't add up. Their eyes are seeing one thing (no codes, cats installed), but their noses are screaming the opposite. I got the sticker and got out of there ASAP.

I agree with Bonzo, you are rolling the dice.
When my '97 was taken through they lifted it up in the air and looked under it with a mirror- and I have a high flow cat on there. The aftermarket exhaust probably tipped them off.
