If you're running straight pipes on your truck will it still pass inspection in College Station since they don't have emissions testing?

Someone said on here the other day that Dixie Tire doesnt do inspections anymore......maybe you need to searchit wont pass in College Station...but if you go to Dixie Tire Co. in Bryan, it will pass no problem...search the boards newb there is a thread on this..
they don't, there is a new inspector Nazi for the county and they decided it wasn't worth the hassel. Quite a few places quite, rather than deal with him.
The new guy is a dick. I would have passed it when I still worked where I did. You can try Quicker Sticker behind Napa. I heard they pass anytyhing, but I not sure now.

i work at kwik kar on rock prarie and from the overall feeling about inspections around college station, good luck. Even if you're diesel and straight pipe, we won't pass. If your wipers aren't good enough, you won't pass. also, the kicker is that if you live somewhere other than college station, they will tell you to get it inspected in your own county in which the vehicle is registered.
when did u start working there, i guess there goes my old job
and yes u have to have a muffler and even a cat in a non emissions county, it doesnt have to work though, and u can get it inspected if its registered somewhere other then bryan county, u just have to sign a waiver

I went to quicker sticker a few months ago..they didn't even open the hood, or check my wipers. I was out in under 5 minutes.
started working there the 5th of july.
Would they look under the truck for a cutout?
Oh and the 06 registration sticker has your county of residence on it, since mine says Tarrant does that mean that they will reject me no matter what and tell me to go back to Tarrant?...If that's the case, I guess cutouts are out of the question too.
being that its a college town they will let you inspect it there...otherwise you should go to your county of residence...

They have to inspect it...your vehicle is supposed to be inspected in the county in which it sees the most use (it's just convenient that Brazos doesn't require emissions)
glad I got mine before you left John...thanks again
So I don’t even want to hear you guys complain. I just spent three hours of my life getting my CJ inspected up here in Northern Virginia (NOVA)
The safety inspection is a joke as we all know how unsafe a 20 year old CJ is. But mine passed anyway. They look for things like body lifts, but completely ignore the fact that my Jeep exceeds the bumper height limit by about a foot. They are supposed to check the condition of the brakes. Disks are easy, but rear drums are much more of an issue. The technician briefly considered removing one of my rear tires but decided he didn’t want the challenge. So he asked me if they were OK. Of course they are.
The emission test is a pita. Norm wouldn’t fit on the rollers at one place and I had to go to another. No one knows anything about CARB exemptions, which hurts my cause. But it passed with flying colors.
All that and it costs $48.
I wish Dixie tire would open an Arlington, VA location.

Just when you though it was safe to go back in the water...
