I live in PA as well, and rumor has started once again that they will actually be testing cars for tailpipe emissions, but only if you car is 1997 or above.

You used to be able to get around inspections here in VA, but they've cracked down on it so much now it's nuts. If you get pulled or written up for something that's not to code, they will go back to the place that inspected you and fine the hell out of them and pull the individuals inspections license. All of the inspection stickers are tracked to which shop gave them out.
As stated above, just stay up to code, reasoning not to is pretty silly.

In jersey it is either a 5K or 10K fine... i have to ask my cousin to be exact... but jersey has been having a lot more spot inspection lwith a mobile smog tester on the road..especially up in Bergen Co..... if you get caught you get fined....
Even wastegates that dump to the atmosphere will get you the fine....

Yeah, but in Cali the inspection process focuses almost completely on the emissions related stuff. In PA they conduct a very thorough inspection of the whole car....they remove ALL wheels and measure brake pad thickness...measure rotor thickness.....check the operation of all warning indicator lights on dash....check the condition of the coolant...check seatbelts for frays and sun bleaching...etc etc etc.

Saw an Infinity the other day with back end bouncing like crazy up and down. Obviously the shocks were gone and it was still driving around. Sad.
Like someone else said too, they should take the old junk off the streets too. There are a ****load of trucks and SUVs that blow blue smoke and I'm not sure why different rules apply on those?!
Hopefully it doesn't get as bad on the east coast as it is in Cali.
I was there in November and it got much much worse since I was there last time.
Nj and Ca both have the same standards when it comes to Emmisions... they are the only two states that are super strict... NY is following suit as well.... so it will be all states.... 
on the contrary...
... it will be 
The reason why they're doing it because they don't want it to look like this:
In case you don't know what that is - it's Los Angeles when looked from one of the streets up in Griffith Park.
The haze you see is not a haze but smog.
The only reason why I would never want to live in LA.
