Ok, i also as well have my state and emissions license, so i will answer your questions. As for the whole 150 dollar things, you have to have proof that you bought the parts and they were installed on your car! You can't just buy them and say "hey, i got parts. So as for the aspect, no you can't. It's called a waiver, and techinally no shops are allowed to do that anymore. So don't be cheap and go and get your **** fixed. As for the vr6 question. In all technicallity if it's not the original engine a shop can fail you, but i've never seen it done before, i.e. a shop fail a car for a swapped engine. There is also a way to pass a car if the check engine light is on, which gives a year to fix it before your next inspection. Also, as for aftermarket parts you put on your car, i.e. header, exhaust, intake, turbo, it is up to the discretion of the mechanic as to wether you pass or fail. I personally will not fail a car for aftermarket parts, and there are not many i know that would
