Here in Mass the buyer of the car can return it to you and demand the money back if it won't pass inspection which includes the full dyno emissions test on all 84 and newer cars and trucks.

Without any of the smog pump hardware and with offroad H pipe it will be tough to pass a full sniffer test and could fail a visual inspection at the least. Each state has different rules regarding this, MASS does no visual inspection, if it blows clean they dont care how you did it.
( climbing on soapbox)
I still don't understand why everyone tears out all the smog pump stuff, the pump has a minimal power drain and not passing emmissions really sucks cus you have to get it re-tested etc... ( Off soapbox)
