Yes. You'll probably pass the sniffer if tuned well but the visual check is a no go. You have to make friends with somebody at a garage and toss them an extra 20 or so to get your sticker. If you just take it in they will **** their pants and send you home for fear of a 10k dollar fine if they pass you.

Yeah, Tarrant but I'm sure Dallas is the same. Not sure about others. Denton is pretty loose from what I'm told...a guy I know with a bad boy 500 HP RX7 says he drives out there for inspection. He doesn't even have a cat...

That's what I've been wondering. I think they're doing that here now also since a couple of months ago but I'm not sure. Like I said, just get in good with some younger guys and they'll usually hook you up for an extra 20-40 bucks. Last time I went they just pulled a Ranger in and smogged it, slapped the sticker on mine, and I was done.
