Finally, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has decided to allow its citizens 
to have easy access to the laws of the state!  I have been trying to find PA 
vehicle inspection requirements on line, and they just posted the entire PA 
CODE on the PA web site.  http://www.pacode.com/index.html

For all you Pennsylvanians who care, so to:  
http://www.pacode.com/secure/data/067/chapter175/s175.80.html  for the 
vehicle inspection procedures.  This will be helpful as I complete the work 
on my Midget.

The complete section on Transportation has many, many links.  Go to: 
http://www.pacode.com/secure/data/067/067toc.html

The section on inspections includes emissions as well as safety, and for all 
vehicles.

Of particular interest was the section on motorcycle exhaust systems:  

"(b)  Exhaust system requirements. A motorcycle shall be equipped with a 
muffler or other effective noise-suppressing system in good working order and 
in constant operation. A muffler or exhaust system may not be equipped with a 
cutout, bypass or similar device and a muffler may not show evidence of 
external repair. 

   (1)  The exhaust system of a motorcycle may not be modified in a manner 
which will amplify or increase noise emitted by the motor of the vehicle 
above the maximum level permitted by Chapter 157 (relating to established 
sound levels)."

And I thought that they were encouraged to be so loud that they set of car 
alarms!

Have fun.  This site will take a whole day to explore.
