I live in va, i would just go somewhere else honestly. When i got mine inspected they pulled it in, and never turned it on while they inspected it. I didnt have to do any emissions or anything.
*edit* and be careful of multiple post to answer your one question.

I too live in VA. I would just go somewhere else. i know people who have exhaust leaks and still passed inspection, so its just the inspector being ****.

I live in VA as well and the shops can be finiky. Some might go to the inth degree to inspect every single thing, while others do the basics and slap a sticker on. I would get the leaks fixed to help you out in the long run, but going somewhere else is always a possibility. Just remember, taking shortcuts and shortchanging yourself won't help you in the future. Doing it right the first time usually saves you time and money

I used to live in va, and when I had this problem, I would just go to one of the very small shops that do inspections and slip them an extra 20 ....lol passed every time

Next-time register your car in a county that doesn't require emissions.
