Default Long Tube Headers and Emissions

Alright i have a pretty big question about long tubes. Do they ever pass emissions? I know in some states, they fail the visual test alone. I live in arizona so im not really sure how strict things are around here. What i was thinking was that i might be able to bolt on a catted h or something when it was time for emissions, but if the longtubes dont even pass the visual, then im not so sure i want to get them. Like i said, i live in arizona, so im not sure if anyone is familiar with the laws around here, but any input would be appreciated. Also, do you know where i might be able to find out about something like that? Thanks a lot.

look around on the dot site, thats where i got the pa emissions. As for switching the h pipe some people do it and some just find someone that will pass them anyway(thats your best bet money talks) And i dont believe long tube headers are smog legal anywhere.

department of transportation. as long as the headers have a CARB number imprinted on them, they are legal.
