Everyone is correct in saying there are no emissions test for all cars older than 1996, as we do not have OBD2 ports. The garage doing the inspection is supposed to do a visual test, which includes ensuring that all emissions equipment is working properly. I know the shop I go to does not care about the cat, because I asked them. I can't say that every inspection shop will feel the same way though. Your best bet would be to just straight up ask, and if they give you a hard time, choose another inspection location

Only thing you have to make sure your car is not super loud. THAT will get you "loud exhaust" ticket.

Exactly... For all nyc cares you can run open headers and all you'll get is a loud exhaust ticket. This ain't cali Lol!
In terms of inspection you can usually find a shop and throw em a few extra bucks and thell just give you a sticker. Especially if they know even if they failed you they're not making money on any jobs anyways.

Here is upstate you do not need it to pass, if it will not hook up to the machine to test the system, they just do a visual inspection. I think it is like '96 and older? not 100% sure on the year.
Tires, pads/rotors, Ebrake, tie rods and other suspension bits. The place I go to does not even go that far into it, just a quick once over. Biggest issue for mine, I cannot get it on any of their lifts ;D~ Puch Cafe. ~ Do business? feedback ~ Check out my leather company ~
