I understand why they look into the engine compartment: the purpose of this should be to look for broken hoses that can potentially contaminate the environment.
If the hoses are fine and all they see is a mod, so what...
If they ONLY focus on the tail pipe, then what we did as a mod should not matter...

This state requires them to look under the hood. I think if left to their own devices the smog guys would just hang the sniffer in the tail pipe and run the test. Less work for them.
