Arrow Failed VA Emissions Test for E36

A buddy of mine failed the annual emissions test for his 1997 E36. It's not an aftermarket setup, but just a 12-13 yr old exhaust.

Anyone know of a shop in NoVA that will turn a blind eye and pass the car in exchange for a twenty (or whatever amt)?

I am assuming it's OBDII. it's really hard to get it passed inspection for obd2 since they use a computer to hook up to the car to get the reading.

If u find a shop that will pass it let me know also.

... If ever suspect that the station is just not updated with their software and your car is not loaded in their sw database since its a e36. Most cases it seems to be the just case with the millions of car db models the sw are suppose to carry
