Because your car is OBDII it does not have to go on a dyno. It is simply plugged into the emissions computer and the systems in the car are checked. So I do not think ride height will be an issue.

As far as the exhaust, do you still have a converter? Any check engine lights? If you still have a converter and have no CELS you should pass no problem.

Technically any modification of the exhaust is a visual failure in the state of Virginia. I would ask the shop their stand on this before I handed the car over to be tested.

Thank you! I'm not sure why the shop was trying to lift my car. maybe to see if I had a converter? but no I just have an exhaust.. cats untouched.
