It depends on the county. I believe in Washoe it's just a OBD2 check (if you're not throwing codes, you're fine) for 95+ cars, with no sniffer, but that may have changed - I've never had to smog a car in NV, s I'm going off other member's old posts. What are you smogging? How "illegal" is it?

Yeah, in Washoe and Clark county, they idle the car for 10 minutes or so, and plug in an OBDII scanner to check for codes. If your car isn't OBDII, then you get an 10 minute sniffer test while idling.
I believe the rest of the state just does a quick OBDII test, without idling. I can't remember know what happens for pre-OBDII cars.

So, in theory, could a stage 2 catless car pass an ODB2 scan? I know I had codes 'turned off', but I don't know if they would trigger a malfunction on their equipment.
This is just hypothetical as my car really is bone stock since I got reffed a month ago.
