The exhaust you mentioned wanting to do will have no effect on the OBDII checks that far down the pipes.
A tune would be needed for cat, or header modifications in order for it to pass.

Agreed, you can tune anything to pass obdII and sniffer. But some places do a visual which could cause issues. And honestly I'd be overly pissed if I had to tune my car and voided my warranty just to pass emmisions. If I'm gonna tune I'm going to go well beyond a cat back exhaust.
I'm not being a stickler on this but its not fair to tell the guy he'll 100% pass and that means it legal. By modifying the car he could find some prick at a shop that fails him for both emmisions and safety inspection.
I just wish people would provide an honest answer so he knows what he's getting into.
Most likely if you don't have a cel and you're not throwing codes emissions will pass. Most likely safety inspections as long as you have cats wont be an issue. But it is still possible you have issues. If that happens just take it to the next shop. It's also very unlikely he would ever get a ticket, but its still a possibility.
Go to your local car meet up. Ask ten guys with modded cars if they're ever had emmisions or inspection issues. I'd bet a paycheck one of them says yes. And they probably just went to another shop.
