I was just up there on vacation and i know they do emissions testing and saftey inspection. However it is nowhere near as strict as where your coming from. FWIW in Oklahoma there is no inspections of any kind required for your vehicle.

The KC area does not have sniffer testing. Only a safety inspection that will basically look to see if you have cats, check your brakes, lights, wipers and tires. If they are all good, you won't have a problem.

If you are in MO we have both inspections. But if you are coming from cali you should have cats.

There is no sniffer in MO so if you are tuned with no cats you should be fine. You will just have trouble getting around the safety inspection. (Cats are required in safety inspection)
