If your car does not pass the New York state vehicle inspection and emissions tests that are required and the exhaust is the reason then you will need to have it repaired. After the repair is complete you will have to go through the inspection again. If your car passes the first time there is no need for repairs.

In most countries a broken windshield or indeed a windshield with a stone chip above a certain size or one which is in line with the drivers sight, would be certain to fail a vehicle inspection (and in the UK would be illegal to drive). I cannot see that the laws in Alberta would be any less stringent.
