Inspections...
 

the thing about inspections, are ...well theyre STUPID!

RI apparently has a NO aftermarket exhaust law, which must have sprung up over night because ive gotten my car passed with an aftermarket exhaust before.

the inspector deemed my car "too loud to pass". When asked what i should do he said "well you have to put the OEM one back on" me and my quick thinking said (while i know this is not true) "well its a pontiac...theyre no longer in business so an OEM exhaust is impossible to find...." he then advised me to apply for a waiver...but that will be a giant pain in the ass, and i wont get away with it...so i took my keys and left..so i have 30 days to reinspect...anyone know of a deaf inspection station?

just move... CT is easy, NH or even VT might be healthier

how do they check the exhaust noise levels? and ri is a fked up state to bust balls on shit like that, but its probably in the eyes of the inspector, what kind of dick or mood ect.

that sucks...ask 94mike im sure he knows of somewhere to go

^yea his 94 was far from quiet lol

I can do a Ma. inspection but that would only last till you got back to your state! lol

decibal meters read the exhaust noise.

just find a laxed stations and throw the guy an extra $10

I believe its the inspectors better judgement which determines it

an extra $10? lol. im looking at atleast an extra $100 if they want to bust balls. its a maximum $1000 fine and possible imprisonment or both in RI if the inspection station gets caught

this is my best guess as well...im sure a shop will pass, its the bitch of paying $40 a shot

You have to pay everytime you do an inspection. That sux in ct we don't have inspections only emissions and its $20. if you don't pass your second test is free but if you don't pass after that you pay $20 witch its all bull shit anyways.
