If you just buy the CBE then yea you use your stock cats, thats why its called a "Cat-Back exhaust. The only time you would have to switch to pass emissions is if you remove the stock cats ans install Test Pipes. But even with Test Pipes the car will still pass an inspection as long as the CEL is not on. It could possibly fail a visual but thats only if they guy doing the inspection is real anal.

+1 up above. But i have been told that the car wont pass emissions with test pipes... Either way, didnt want to chance it. The reason I even mentioned it was because I thought you were thinking of definitely getting either HFC's or Test Pipes...

I'm pretty sure CT is just like NY. The emission stations dont run the cars on dynos or stick a sniffer in the muffler. So as long as the CEL is not on she should pass.
