Smog/emissions laws, Ohio, Pa.

[SxMachine]

Possibly moving to the north Ohio, Pittsburg pa area in a year. Is there anything specific the state actually checks for on a modded car up there? Any issues with lowered cars or exhaust? Ga (where i live now) isn't to bad on older vehicles.

In the city of Pittsburgh (actually Allegheny County) there is both emissions and vehicle inspections. PA, in general, has a lot of restrictive laws and regulations- not just for vehicles.

Thanks. Did some research but not much. Trying to decide what to sell and what to keep. Like I said ga emissions laws are limited and we don't inspect.

Yea I know, I lived in Atlanta for a while. Cars were always registered in Chicago though, which isn't bad- no inspection, and pre-OBDII cars just needed to pass a sniffer once and then were exempt from further testing.

Here, you need to have functioning lights etc etc for the inspection, and pass sniffer and visual for emissions if pre-OBDII. Not very doable with an SR.
