here in PA for all obdII cars it id=s strictly a vissual inspection along with a gas cap test.As long as your car has the emission parts on that came on the car (air pump,cat,egr sensor and so forth)it will pass .As far as the long tubes you will be fine as long as you have some form of cat on the car.
P.S any ?'s let me know I have many friends who have inspection stations if i cant answer them they can.

It says there that:
Adams county is a non-emissions testing county, so you just have to pass the visual.
York and Lancaster are in the lowest emissions testing category. There you will have to pass the visual and a gas cap test.
LTs should not be a problem as long as you have cats. Only Ca and a couple of other states care about CARB certs and location of cats.

Hi, I live just across the line in PA, York county, Stewartstown, and commute to work in MD, much like everyone else. OBD1 cars they just do the visual at the local garage. OBDII they hook up to the computer and do the visual. Must have cat and things that look like mufflers. As for housing, I looked in MD, used to live there 5 years ago in Harford Co. Prices have gone way up. I just bought a home last summer in Stewartstown 3 bedroom, two bath with basement and an acre of land for 135,000. Not too bad.
