Hello all, I’m Robert, and I’ve just moved to the area from Toledo Ohio. Recent grad from OSU (majored in mechanical engineering). I’m 23 and drive a 1992 Mercedes 400E with a little over 200,000 miles on her. Still runs great, and I keep good care of her. I figured I’d join these forums since I’m new to Pennsylvania and not familiar with the area. One question… in Ohio our cars don’t need inspections. I was glancing over what all gets inspected in Pennsylvania, and am concerned that my car will fail simply because it doesn’t have a muffler. However, the car is very quiet, in fact quieter than a lot of cars with factory exhausts. Is the inspection based on a dB level, or just the presence of a muffler? Thanks! ---

State visual inspection will most likely require a muffler to be present. ---

I managed to get a job working for an engineering consulting firm. I’m really happy about it. There is nothing in Toledo, mostly because Detroit’s 15% unemployment is rubbing off on all surrounding areas. Thanks for the info on the inspection. Looks like I’ll need to put on a muffler. Bummer. and here’s a quick pic of my car: ![http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt319/legoinsaniac/IMG_0017.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/1/5/15e303126ad310c924b1cea8e1d3015da6b41b9b.jpeg) ---

If you drive under 5000 miles you can get an exempt sticker and they don’t do a visual inspection. -No cat 5 years running- ---
