They also plug in the OBDII to read and verify the VIN and they do have cameras to keep the inspectors honest. Then they stick the probe in the exhaust. I know of only a few that failed emissions due to mods but they had tune, pulley, cell 200 or 100 and high octane or water/alcohol systems. I am in CT....
When did they start doing the exhaust probe? Last couple cars I had test in the last couple of years they didn't actually sample the exhaust.

I didn't pay attention to it very much. I remember that it was done on a few of our cars but the regulations seem not to include that. See here:

Ooops... here is the reason (AWD cars get tailpipe emissions)

Here in Maryland they have abandoned the dyno test entirely and up until the beginning of this year just used a sniffer on cars from '77-'95 (those without OBD-2 ports). That now has been abandoned as well leaving only '96+ cars being tested with the OBD-2. In fact, some of the VEIP stations in MD offer a self operated kiosk you can use 24/7 to do the test yourself. Of course, you have to know where the port is.

Have a VAP tune installed and just passed CT emissions. Looks like the tune is not an issue.

What is this "emission test" of which you speak?
On my flight back from LV yesterday there was an emission that would not have passed any test among humans with a functioning olfactory system, but I don't find the emissions from my F to be so offensive.
If your vehicle does not pass the test, does it have to be fitted with a perfuming device or some such?

Texas here - have the VAP tune and crank pulley and no problems passing state inspection which now uses the OBD rather than a tailpipe sensor.

Unfortunately looks like the guys didn't cleanly shut down the OBD equipment as this morning I was greeted by the "low battery" alert in the dash typical of the OBD issues some have seen. A quick battery reset seems to have fixed it.....

I used an automated kiosk to run the emission test myself, making certain that the test was fully shutdown before I pulled the cable. It still caused the battery control module to go wonky, draining the lithium battery just enough to shut it down in failsafe mode.No issue at all hitting the reset button on the battery and starting the car. That automatic shutdown also automatically reboots the control module without having to physically disconnect the battery.
