So, it turns out that if you don't have a muffler (and get very lucky), you can pass the biannual Maryland emissions inspection!
According to the Administrative Code of Maryland, the emissions inspector is not required to even inspect the car (which is by default a failure of the test) if the entire exhaust system is not in place. Fortunately, they focused only on the emissions.
To be honest, I was pretty worried about the above-stated regulation, but as it turns out, the car failed anyway. The hydrocarbons were ever so slightly too high. I asked them to retest, they did so and it passed! Interestingly, the inspector located the collector pipe about 6 inches behind the tailpipe as opposed to overtop of it. Perhaps that was the difference.
Anyone happen to know what would cause the hydrocarbons to be a little high. Perhaps it was simply that I had not driven the car for very long before arriving at the inspection station...
Who knows...
I'm just happy that I'm safe for 2 years! Of course a cop could pull me at any time for a noise violation... ;)
