I live in NJ and have gone through many inspections. This system has undergone a radical downgrading in the last 10 years, meaning they don't do much. They do a document check (license, reg, valid insurance) and an OBD hookup. Basically they are scanning for emission codes. Needless to say, if you have an illuminated CEL you fail. No tailpipe sniffer is used.
All the safety stuff they used to do like tires and skid pad for braking is now "owner responsibility."
I cannot remember if they still do the visual (at my station they use a mirror mounted on a stick) undercar inspection as a matter of routine. I think that has been discontinued and is not mentioned in the current FAQ:

I had my 2SS inspected last year. After the kid did the OBD hookup and popped on the new sticker he told me I should get a louder exhaust. That was my inspection.
