Default Emissions question

I am getting ready to buy a car with Borla X-pipe and Borla Stingers on it. Will either of these affect the emissions of the car? I'll have to get it inspected in TX and am worried about failing the inspection due to the mods.

i dont know the emission laws in Tx but they might do a visual inspection looking for cats and since your getting an x pipe you might need to throw them back on for the smog check,
but i would look them up in your area.

id be more worried if you live in california like me ahaha, emissions laws are rediculas here

I have a friend that move to texas and his truck didnt pass inspection cause it had no cats on it. So he had to get another vehicle.

just make sure you have cats and you should be just fine unless they find dtc's in your car

The x pipe and/or stingers would not have caused a removal of the cats? Sorry I'm new to all this.

The cats would be on the x-pipe if its not an off road x-pipe. If its off road then no cats at all.
