You have to pass a visual no matter where your at. You can get inspected at any county you wish but the requirements follow you to that county. For instance.. A few years ago in Mecklingburg county when they where doing sniffer on everything my 93 formula recieved a safety only inspection because it was registered in cumberland.

No, I don't think you understand . Just because it passes the OBD2 check doesn't mean the car will pass. Its got to pass a visual also.. which means that the car must have the orginal number of cats in the proper location. It also has EGR/AIR if orginally equipped. You may be able to find some back shed mechanic but theres nothing you can do to get around the system l egitimately. Your only hope for passing is to find someone that will look the other wayon your modifications.

i have my inspection license, but nowhere to inspect, but i can tell you that they get away with it because their car will pass the plug in (OBD2 emissions test), and they know someone who will pass them on the visual part of the test.
i think that it will still be several years before they do a sniffer test. it will cost alot of money for them to get equipment (dynos and stuff) so that they can start doing sniffer testing like they do in California, besides for that there is no pressing issue for them to have a sniffer test because we do not have a smog problem (although Charlotte is starting to develop a problem).
