Since I joined Maxima.org I have been interested about all the concern with car inspections. Is this only in a few states, or do most states require inspections? I've only lived in Iowa and Indiana, and neither state requires inspections. I remember putting headers and straight pipes on by friends Pontiac in high school, and nobody mentioned anything... Until he got busted racing... You could hear him a mile away!!!

Just curious...

 

Rhode Island does them....they have been made alot stricter in the last few years. They used to test emissons once every five years, now they do it every year.

 

Non in Oklahoma.

Georgia and TX both have emissions testing.

TX also does emissions + dyno testing...

 

none in MS...well not a major one. We have to get a $5 inspection sticker each year but all they check is lights, blinkers and brake lights...nothing else.

 

nothing in florida, though i think we should have some sort of system. should see some of the cars on the road...just flat out pathetic

 

Where I live in TX it's the same way. They do emissions in the larger areas though. Of course, I never got a chance to put my new inspection sticker on

 

No vehicle inspections or emissions testing in South Carolina. They have both in Virgina.

 

NJ does it every two years now...hardcore emmissions testing too

 

yep, cars 95 and older have to be dyno tested to simulate driving conditions. cars 95 newer gets their computers checked. i got my checked last week on the dyno.

 

I live in georgia all my life and ive never had to have any type of emmisions test, or government inspection....i don't know what your thinking. TN doesn't either

 

You have to get it inspected every year in West Virginia. And now they're cracking down on tint. At most places, if you buy a car that already has a little factory tint on the windows, and you try to put 35% (legal) on it, it won't pass...

 

Philly does the emissions testing too.

 

Every year in Pennsylvania, and emmissions if you live near philly (probably pittsburgh too).
