Question inspection in NH???? how does it work??

well, my race car is much more street friendly now with a cam only stock motor but now way will it pass mass state inspection so i use a dealer plate to get around with it. now i was thinking, my dad is NH resident. if i sold him the car and had him reg and insure it in nh, how hard is there inspection? think i could make it fly?

im thinking i might make a real cheap cheap exhaust set up with quite mufflers to toss on it, but im not sure with a cage and race harness and stuff like that if it would pass the inspection. i can make it pass the plug in test pretty easy but not sure about the rest.
any thoughts? im thinking of ordering a set of drag radials and putting the car back to street use. lights, blinkers, ect all work. no horn or wind sheild wipers

where I get my car inspected, the only thing they look for is window tint and as long as it passes the obd scan im fine. NH is much easier than MA

Noyzee, pretty much agree as long as the car isnt coding you should have no problem. Sound not an issue, cats/no cats could be just tell them you do.
As usual it's who u know. My car has no problem. Sounds loud, catless etc.

Brad, You can get by all the BS stuff, but they will need to plug into the OBDII port. As lomg as there are no codes you will get a sticker. Let me know if you decide to do it, I'll hook you up with a shop

problem is, the only guy i know here in mass is local guy and i dont want to get him in trouble. he already looks the other way with my truck (no cats, muffler nothing!! ) and my harley (shot gun pipes no baffles, no blinkers, etc)

so i dont want the cops to grab me and have him busted.

Its all in where you go I guess. Some are sticklers for everything some are not so much in both states.

FUnny your car is probably more safe now than from the factory and it would not pass?? hahaha..
