The fact that the "urban" PA sniffer published test standards mirror CA's. In some east coast states, early cars (pre OBD II) are required to fully pass emissions sniffer testing while on a "rolling road" test (read chassis dyno), later cars run the national I/M Readiness test standard, but are also subjected to tail pipe sniffers in urban areas.

We probably have a couple hundred cars running the 160 stat, none have ever had an emissions issue related to the stat, regardless of what state they were tested in or what standards they were tested against. Your concern is simply a non starter........................
