might be time to get together and buy like a 1/4 of an acre out in the boondocks and register the car from there..

Well, if it is just a visual inspection then you should have no trouble. Like someone mentioned earlier, just get yourself a pair of hollowed out cats and make sure you have no SES light and you SHOULD be ok. No need to worry just yet.

Now, if they decide to do an actual sniffer test, then I'm going to have to pull the HPTuners out of retirement .
