Default PA Emissions Test?

Is there a test? If so, how frequent and is it a computer scan or tailpipe test?

When I took my '01 in for the annual, he told me that on newer models equiped with computers - if the "check engine" light is NOT on, he doesn't have to do the "tailpipe" test. Said my computer is just as good as his!

Don't know how true that is, but I don't think he'd put his business at risk just to ease me through! None the less, I was relieved (oh, did I say that there have been a few "mods" done? ).

IN my part of Pennsylvania its an OBD computer test, this was changed last year from a Tailpipe test.
You can go here and check your specific car year and county.

Excellent news. It looks like I could put a big cam in.
