I think you're screwed. Besides a sniffer test they are supposed to visually inspect it, either way it won't pass with no cats.

as for the visual inspection you could weld up the head shileds from your old cats onto the exhaust pipe so it looks like you have cats.

If they check it correctly, there is no way it will pass.
