Re: NOVA Safety Inspection
You need to worry about Emissions Inspection, not Safety. You will pass Safety fine if your car doesn't have broken parts on it. As for Emissions, when they look underneath and don't see a Cat there, you will fail the visual.
Due to recent threads I will make this warning to you now. Sorry if I come off like a prick typing this, but threads containing the following need to stop appearing on this site. If you post a "Can anybody hook me up with an inspection or tell me where they are lax on smog checks so I don't have to swap my test pipe?" I will ban you. Asking for such things is illegal and nobody will risk their connections (if they have any) to help a stranger out anyways.
However, if you have any other questions about State Inspections, please feel free to post them up.
