thanks, i did a search here and found another post of yours saying the same thing

i know people who can inspect my car, but i wouldnt want them to get into trouble if i was doing something illegal.

so in reality, if you take an emissions exempt car in for inspection and when they put it on the lift to remove the tires and see that there is no cat, they cant fail you for it? since there is no visual requirements?
