Ma state inspection

Hi everyone. I have a Mazda rx8. I've had it for 14 years, an 04. It's a nice ride. t's starting to rust a little bit. The station won't give me an inspection sticker saying it's too loud (safety reasons). Does anyone live in Massachusetts with an 8? Anyone driving without a sticker right now? I can't afford fixing it- it's not even loud.

Id appreciate any input

Thanks

Chad

Just in general if you go to name brand inspection places like pep boys they will turn down any modified exhaust. If you have a loud exhaust either you need to find a mom and pop shop that wont care or have a buddy buddy. Otherwise not much else to do unless you want to make some sort of silencer to go in the tips which will be very frowned upon.

Generally pairing the racingbeat dual resonated midpipe or the BHR resonated midpipe with most dual mufflers will be fine.

Does anyone drive without an inspection sticker on their car? I live in Massachusetts. Inspection stations are saying that my car is too loud, plus first gear don't work. Quarter panels are rusty, just a little bit. I figured if I devoted some time to it I just may be able to fix it, so pass it can.
