Default In need of inspection

I am due for inspection this month.

I've got a 408 T/A with LT's and no cats. Tuned out AIR and 02 codes. I should pass inspection if they don't do a visual check, right? Is it required by law to do a visual check? Last year, i got a visual check at one place and not the other(closed now).

Anyone got a good inspection hookup in north houston?

If they check your screwed. If it is loud then they will probably check. Otherwise, it should pass. Just be friendly and keep the attention off your car!

And plus you they will probably notice the severe exhaust smell that comes out of the exhaust. That is usually a dead giveaway for some testers.
i would go to a place that mainly has a bunch of kids running around. Those guys usually don't care.
They just want to get paid.

The car isn't very loud. It lopes pretty hard, but overall, it's relatively quiet. It definitely smells though.

eh.... It's a custom 3.5 inch catback with a hooker aerochamber muffler. It will get a little loud, but i've heard plenty louder. Where/how does everyone else get inspected?

Don't watch them do the test, totally remove yourself from the situation. Go to the bathroom or something
