Safety only no emmissions. I didn't even have my cat on last year when I got my sticker.

You can still fail in Mass. If the car is smoking, etc. but as said-no tailpipe test. RMV has a list of safety items they check: ball joints, windshield washer, horn, tires, rust holes, etc.

Yep same here in RI, they sometimes pull random sniffer tests on older cars like ours just to get a reading , "for study purposes only".. My buddy that works at an inspection station told me about this not too long ago...Mike

I do mine every year in ma.

They just check plates and lights.

Could care less about anything else.

No plugging anything.

Burn rubber on the way in and on the way out.

Every time.
