Exhaust in Emissions State?

Exhaust in Emissions State?
I'll soon be the owner of a new 3.7. That being said, my first modification is going to be exhaust, but I'm not exactly sure what I can do because I live in Colorado, a state that does emissions testing.
Now, I'm not exactly versed in exhaust, so bear with me.
However, my general understanding is, from the engine comes the exhaust header, followed by h-pipe, followed by cats, followed by various piping (including resonators) and finally mufflers.
I'd like to run the Borla Atak exhaust, either cat-backs or axle-backs. If I am correct at the placement of the resonators, will purchasing the cat-backs give me a resonator/silencer free exhaust system? And is this legal in my state?
What about long tubes, and o/r x-pipes? Can I even do these in my state?

Dual x pipe kit:

You can get any GT axleback with this, I would get anything that has a muffler. Straight through pipes wouldn't sound really good with a v6, do you want that loud ricer bumble bee sound? Or a decent rumble like a v8?
I would get this for a good rumble sound:

Or this just to be loud:

If you do decide to take the cats off, the pype bombs would be very loud and very bad sounding without cats. I would keep the cats on.. Hope this helps

The '14 V6 comes with dual exhaust starting with the cats, x pipe, mid pipes and axle backs. If you keep your cats, the rest shouldn't matter as far as inspection goes. Getting just axle backs will give you a nice sound. Sounds vary widely with different ABs though from loud to very loud.
