Nope, under 5k you get a nice little exempt sticker. At least one of our cars gets one each year.
Ditto our diesel powered friends. Also if your car was factory rated at over 6000lbs GVW then you don't need emissions. There was a NICE tax break for 6k lb + vehicles for year too.
For those interested road race engineering makes a "rally cat" that should provide the flow characteristics you are looking for while still passing the visual tests.

I've been emissions exempt for the past two visits to the inspection station but they still did a visual on the car. My car is not OBD2 compliant so they can't scan it even if they wanted (but I also have no CEL anyways). I was just confused as to why I have to pass a visual and get my gas cap checked, tires, suspension, etc....

The unsafe **** boxes that remained on the road there would boggle the mind.

When my car was registered in Huntington County I was emissions exempt but still had to have a visual and gas cap test....ghey.

Wait a second.. i dont think the fine for not having a cat is $5,000, but the fine for the inspector is $5,000. The guy I go to always tells me if i get caught make sure i tell them them I changed it since inspection.
Anyways, happy new year to all... I got my wheels on and the car looks way better. Also got the downpipe and test pipe ordered.
