Generally, a hole in your exhaust system can lead to increased emissions, making it more challenging to pass an emissions test. The hole may allow exhaust gases to escape before they reach the catalytic converter, preventing it from effectively reducing harmful pollutants. Additionally, the sound and other signs of a damaged exhaust could raise flags during the inspection, potentially resulting in a failure. It's advisable to repair any exhaust issues before attempting to pass emissions.

Will cherry bomb exhaust pass inspection in North Carolina?

In North Carolina, exhaust systems must comply with specific emissions standards to pass inspection. Cherry bomb exhaust systems, known for their louder and more aggressive sound, may not meet these standards, especially if they are not equipped with the necessary emissions controls. Additionally, modifications to the exhaust system can lead to a failure in the inspection process. It's advisable to check with local inspection stations for specific regulations regarding aftermarket exhaust systems.

Do glass pack mufflers pass emissions?

The muffler doesn't have much to do with emissions. Some jurisdictions prohibit glass packs for noise reasons, but the exhaust going into the muffler is pretty much chemically identical to that going out. If a vehicle doesn't pass the emissions test with a glass pack muffler, it almost certainly wouldn't have passed with any other type of muffler either.
