Depends on the station..

Simply ask them if they think there is any problem. One year I was driving to work and I realized I was 3 days late.. I found the nearest station, and almost immediately the guy was waving me off saying my car is too loud and he wouldn't pass me. I think it must have been the owner or senior mechanic there, he came out and said.. that sounds like it has cams. I said, that is correct. He told the young guy to stop hassling me, and he proceeded to ask me questions about the evo. He was actually a big old school muscle car guy and must have read about evos but never saw one. He asked to check out the car.. did everything by the book still, even tested my tint with a tint meter. Passed me no problem, and asked for a ride around the block.

Coolest gas station guy I've ever met... he was muttering to himself, I can't believe it's a 4 cyl after the ride.. haha.

Sounds stereotyping but hey... Go to any of the Arabian, or lebonese gas stations that do them. They seem to be easiest. But I've never had a problem around me, if you don't throw a code MOST places around here won't do anything. They don't inspect under the hood or anything.

There's plenty of places that will pass you without a probelm at all. And if they won't pass you, most places will tell you up front. I had 2 different stations warn me that I couldn't pass with my (old) tints...then I found a place that had no issue and I continue to give them business

no stereo typing, i take mine to a lebonese place. I started going to them when the place i used to go gave me a hard time about my exhaust. now my whole family gives them business.

it's hit and miss usually. it helps if you have been into a place for other stuff before, even if just to buy gas, and build up a small relationship.

You could also just get a sh!tty silencer and put it in for the 5 blocks you'd need to drive to get inspected. I had an ebay exhaust that took a few tries and a statey threatening me with a ticket to get passed, so it can be frustrating!

I go to this place in Framingham. It's on 126 towards downtown Framingham if you're coming from Rte 9. It's a no name gas station right across from a Mobil gas station and next to a fire station and past the courthouse. Been going for years. Try going there if you're in the area.
