Was denied inspection today The guy walked down into the pits to check under my car for cats/O2's. Guess I'll be going around tomorrow to more places till I can get by without someone looking.

Never go to one of those red, white, and blue state inspection stations. Those guys are looking to fail you, usually. Oil lubd places aren't much better. I tend to drift to the less affluent side of town, where cars are a little more run-down and inspections a lot more lax.

go to a place with no pit and they will have a harder time telling, especially if you're car is lowered... if it really becomes a problem you could get some converter shells welded around your pipes to make it look like you still have cats

I've said it in other inspection threads and I'll say it again here, it's so easy to pass a visual inspection that it's not even funny. If you are running straight exhaust, just spend the $50 a pop on some cheap 3" cats off eBay and put them on your exhaust and just gut them. That way you pass the visual. If you're in a county that does emissions then just make sure your car is tuned properly and you should be golden. Our motors burn pretty efficiently.
