That's gonna leave a mark.

Anyway, to answer the question...I'd say it's a gray area. The exhaust inspection really would be a safety check item...if the car passes a PCM scan or the smog sniffer it shouldn't, in theory, matter how loud it is....the car still passes emissions.

if safety tests are no longer part of the inspection, then i would say you only need a cat and no back! look at florida and their !inspection vehicles

then the next question is will they still do the spot checks like the one that nabbed a member last week. that sounded a hell of a lot worse than failing inspection.

like it was stated earlier, i wouldn't be surprised if municipalities started cracking down on lack of vehicle maintenance offenses and illegal mods. still no official word from big bird so all of this is really rumor. the press is the press and likes to hype it up!

Depends. If they want to split hairs and bust balls:

Your car emits two things from the tailpipe- exhaust gases and noise.
