get all defencive I personaly don't give a sh** I just know that I or any of my friends have never had any problems. I had a chevy that was lifted about 8" and got pulled for everything from no taillights to speeding 30 over but never a peep about the lift. the cops up this way have better things to do with our tax dollors, I guess.

Ummmm, OK?? And the title of the truck seems to say it all though. A homemade truck or farm truck do not follow the same rules as a non-commercial(reg) truck. As the counties tie into the main system it will all catch up. I am not an enforcer by any means, I just have seen the end result more than once about people getting caught. The sticker is tied to a vin that is tied to a owner and an inspector. At some point(usually when the truck is sold) it all catches up.
AND IF you want me to anything to your grits.......ill take mine with cheese..

No need to argue guys, just looking for a way to make my truck louder without upsetting the machine... InstantGrits, I dont care about this truck enough to do all that as I am hoping to get something new, but I'll keep your way in the back of the ol' knoggen to use later on.

OBD-II emissions are here to stay, and are going to expand the counties requiring those tests. As of January 1, 2006, all vehicles older than 1996 are exempt from the tailpipe sniffer emissions testing, and vehicles 30 (maybe 35) years old or older are exempt from all inspection, safety and emissions.

But there are less and less old cars on the road each year. It's not worth it for inspection stations to keep their expensive sniffer equipment operational when most of the inspections are the newer OBD-II vehicles.
