Just the obd-2. You still have to pass the visual inspections for things like dash lights, brake pads, tire wear for the safety inspection, but for emissions it's just the obd-2 checks.
No, they don't put a sniffer in the exhaust. Well, not for his year car. They used to for much older cars (pre-96) but I don't know if that's even still done.

I believe it's only here in northern va that there is emissions testing. Counties south of here only have the visual inspection. I'm not sure about the va beach area though. There is no sniffer they just plug into the car and check for cells and they make sure your emissions equipment is working. The visual inspection consists of a brake check, tire check, lights, signals, and catalytic converter. Inspection is every year and emissions is every two if you pay a little extra(well worth it). VA is a great state but its tough for car guys. There are cops EVERYWHERE!!! Hope this helps and welcome to VA.
