I see you're from Chattanooga. That's where I'm from. Hamilton County is one of the strictest counties for emissions, and not all counties even have testing. It depends on if the car is OBD1 or OBD2. OBD2 they scan the computer, test the gas cap, and visually look for cats. My 97 had some fake cats installed, and it was tuned, so they passed it. OBD1 cars, they have to run the tailpipe sniffer, so you actually need a good working motor and/or cats.
