it's not stock with a 3" blowhorn sticking out the back LOL

But yes, as long as the rest of the emissions equipment is intact and working properly.

You might get a place that won't pass you on visual because you have your 3" exhaust on (and I still don't understand the point in that)

It has absolutely nothing to do with compression. It is a term called scavenging. Type in exhaust scavenging on google it will give you the termonology. The size of your exhaust does matter for naturaly aspirated...
