Yes, and no. State inspection requires a muffler and cat inside the exhaust system. So no technically you don't have to have a oem muffler for it. However if a cop really wanted to then he could give you a ticket for a factory style muffler. However cops see that you don't have a sporty muffler and tend to let it slide. That is a very rare incident that you will ever hear of a officer giving a ticket for a factory style muffler. However, it is technically still altering your factory exhaust. Hence: If he wanted to be an ass he could write you up for it.
