I thought it was the other way around on the mirrors, Don.

If you live in a non emissions county, then give it a shot.

I've been getting my truck inspected here for a while and they don't even look under it!!!

Best thing to do is hop on your state DMV site, see what kinda info you can get. If any of it is confusing, call your DMV.

Most states that have inspections require one side mirror on a vehicle.
Exhaust not sure of but here they have to have a muffler even a burnt out cherry bomb works as long as there are no leaks.
