Emissions in MA
Me and the wife are planning to move to MA from CT sometime next year.(only 20mins away). Anyways, I hear different stories about MA emissions/inspection. I want to know what exactly they will check. Just emissions? Just inspection? Or both? Am I going through the sniffer or obd2? My car is a 2002 so by next year it will be 15 years old. Thanks guys!

No sniffer, they will not use the odb2 plug if your car is 15 years old. Otherwise they will check for readyness codes. They will check for saftey as well.
They will (but not always) fail your car if its too low, or exhaust is too loud.

So just a safety inspection for my 2002 then? I'm guessing they are not going to look under and check for a cat? I'm running a tp right now.

No it'll just be safety inspection next year (in 2017). Right now you'll still need to pass readiness codes via obd2. I also have a 2002 and live in MA.
