I want to see the part of the form where they state they checked the exhaust system and that is OK.

I remember when we lived in VA, EVERY inspection ended up needing the headlights aimed. It was an easy extra few bucks in their pocket.

A friend of my Dad's complained about it, that the headlights had just been aimed, etc. He ended with a list of about $500 worth of repairs (in the 60s). And the law was, if you got your car inspected, the original station that did the inspection had to pass it.
