stacks in WV
What about the lil red express trucks they had stacks. I had the guy who inspects my trucks look in the books to see if there where any laws against them, since I was thinking about adding them on mine. We didn't find anything on the record about it. Call another inspection station & ask them.

I'm pretty sure the State Police are the ones in charge of the vehicle inspection laws, so the best place to ask would be one of their stations or headquarters.
Being that they are 90% men with high testosterone levels, pulling into their parking lot with the stacks in question would help your cause.

Here's what I found in the WV Codes:
§17C-15-34. Mufflers; prevention of noise, fumes and smoke.
(a) Every motor vehicle shall at all times be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise. Such muffler shall be the muffler originally installed by the manufacturer of the vehicle or, if a replacement, the equivalent thereof. No person shall use a muffler cutout, bypass, or similar device upon a motor vehicle on a highway.
(b) The engine and power mechanism of every motor vehicle shall be so equipped and adjusted as to prevent the escape of excessive fumes or smoke.

That said my son spoke in person with the manager of the Cherry Hill, New Jersey MV Inspection Center and was told by him that stacks, if safely installed, will be passed at his center. NJ inspects vehicles at large centers spread about the state where several lines of vehicles enter a large building at one end and leave at the other end.
