I'm no expert on the subject, and things vary from state to state, but here's what I've learned on the obd emissions check. There is a difference between "not ready" and n/a or not available. Not ready will fail you. In my state I can have two not readys and pass. 3 and your failed. However, with the Euro 2, it simply shows n/a for the SAC and post cats etc. "N/A or not available" would pass the readiness test. Your still not out of the woods completely, as a technician/inspector could still technically flag it. If you installed a set of cats after the headers, with o2 ports, you'd likely pass the visual.
One small caveat, you will have to jumper a wire in the cluster. I'm fuzzy on details, but there is an mil check as well when they do a readiness test, and there is an easy work around. A Google search would give you details.
