I haven't seen one in probably 10-12 years though so I'm guessing it was a pilot project that never took off.
I've only seen these "Smog Dogs" in LA and mainly on the west coast. I had HFC and then test pipes on my g37 here in NY and never had an issue. Inspection was a hassle but never had any debt collector problems and my car was LOUD... lol
