In Germany its usually the fast cars that get pulled over for being too loud, my exhaust pipe on my old car was completely rusted through and I drove through a police check where they pull everyone over.

They didnt say anything regarding the exhaust.

I replaced it before the next inspection, because I would have never passed with it rusted through.

Where do you live that there isn't?

Fair few states in the US don't have inspections. (And a few that "do" are really limited and almost meaningless. Like Ohio.)

Many states in the US don't have an inspection. I live in one of those states. I once observed someone driving down a highway with four donut spares on their car.

Fair play. I live in Oregon where there are regularly required inspections and emissions testing.

Though granted, in rural counties pretty much anything goes.

Here's in Wisconsin there isn't one

Edit: actually I think Milwaukee has some sort of inspection because they don't want shit in the great lakes but where i am in Wisconsin, no inspection

Ah, I guess that makes sense. Here in Oregon, unless you live in a rural county, we have regular DEQ inspections and emissions testing.
