[QUOTE="PaladinMan187, post: 13285401, member: 138882"] You've got 2 options here. Do you have a friend with the same car and stock exhaust? The best way to guarantee a pass with no issues is to swap on a stock exhaust, drive it to the shop and have it re-inspected. After you have your certificate just run home and swap the exhausts back. The other option as has been suggested, go to another shop. The issue there is that the State Troopers who oversee Maryland's retarded inspection program cover certain areas. If they see a car *dunno why they would but after working at several inspection station certified shops it happens more often than you think* at another place and know its been somewhere else they may make some phone calls or do a BY THE BOOK inspection or call around seeing why it didn't pass in the first place. I have personally driven around in my truck *needed a different car inspected that I knew wouldn't pass* and asked point blank if the inspector would write a certificate for cash without looking too hard at the car. It took about 5 shops and 400 bucks but I found what I wanted. This is all up to you. Don't go in your own vehicle tho. Take a buddy's. The shops who brown nose to the cops and turn you down for a cash under the table inspection could write down your tag #, call it in to a trooper *T.I. - Trooper Inspector I think is what they are called* and then the trooper would see if you registered and inspected a car recently for the next 6 months or so. If they find you paid for an inspection, its not a fun outcome. YES, All of the above listed items happened at shops I worked at. We never got caught/accused or did anything wrong. We seemed to always get caught up in some crap-sandwich someone else started. [/QUOTE]
