Default Nevada smog laws?

I'm seriously considering relocating to Reno. I have established customers in the Bay area and my mom is in Santa Rosa, so Reno is still a "practical" commute.


I'm wondering what the smog laws are in Nevada, considering my current 19 Corvette. Are there annual or bi-annual smog checks, are full-length headers an issue, etc.?

I'm still learning too but smog checks in NV are every year but not as harsh as CA. Check with the guys at Sin city Corvettes

Pretty much a yearly check, they look for visible smoke, tampering with emission control devices (checking under the hood) and run a test with there analyzer via the obdII port.

Most of the time, you're lucky if they even check if the lights work lol. OBD2 port check and that's about it. Depending on the county you move into, most don't even have smog checks...it's not a statewide thing at all.

Lude, im moving to Nevada from CA.. So you're saying they hook up to your obd? are they just checking for codes?

from your avi, it looks like your a track rat? if so, we need to friend up. I actually think I met you recently.. were you at spring mountain Corvette challenge?
