As long as it doesnt leak you shouldn't have a problem getting the sticker but you can still get ticketed if a cop wants to fuck with you.

Is my exhaust illegal? - Yes, according to Virginia State Law, anything that is not comparable to the system installed on the vehicle as standard factory equipment is illegal.

as long as there are no leaks from the header back then you will pass VA inspection. doesn't matter how loud it is.

Techinically anything aftermarket is illegal.. however, if your original equipment needed to be replaced, you can wtih anything dot approved (cats, exhuasts, etc). If you can't hear it from a good bit away, you wont get a ticket. Besides that, you can't be ticketed for anything offered as a factory option. Even Window tint, if it was installed at factory.
