nj inspection

[C'DALERIDER]

how intense do they inspect youre car in nj? sniff test will be ok, but visual?

2006 legacy outback with a
-TBE, Unsure of brand yet but trying to stay very to stock db levels and look, (help?)
-new turbo in stock location (should be ok for a visual)
- STi tmic, again should be ok for visual.

I think they are mostly concerned with exhaust and this car should NOT attract the laws eyes at all. Think it will pass nj inspection??

No visable cat, automatic fail. No way it will pass in NJ!

[C'DALERIDER]

ok, we will keep a cat on this car. Is that all you can think of?
Thanks D.

edit, did not NJ have a exempt for 3 years on new cars, or was that someplace else?

unless you u know someone to do your inspection....( or if you become good friends with a shop that does inspection they will most of the time just throw another car on the inspection machine) then they pass you an send you on your way with a new inspection sticker

I believe that is the case. A new car is either exempt for 3 years or only needs to be inspected every 3 years... one of them

In New Jersey new car inspection is good for 4 years, after your new car inspection has expired your new inspection sticker dictates the length of time in which you must get your car inspected again. It varies between once every 2 years or yearly. Had a few new cars. Hope this helps. :)

Sounds like it should pass as long as there are no code when they plug into the obd. They will check under the car for a cat and for stock looking exhaust, but they don't look under the hood. Good luck.
