From what I've read the pre-cats are only to help the emissions when the car is first warming up. Once the main cat is hot it does most of the work. By that logic if you have a good main cat and the car is warmed up when you get it tested you should be fine. I had my 90 tested without precats and a magnaflow main and it was fine in CO.
