Age, I don't have much patience anymore. Lol
Mister, WA doesn't do any sort of visual inspection for 95 and older so if you pass the sniffer, you're golden. I passed with no cat on my basically stock S14, and I plan to pass with a big turbo v8 in it with a replaceable rear part of the exhaust that will be 3 cats in a row. Also, my 370z is new enough still that it doesn't require any smog or inspection.. so free game for those cars. I think its 09 and newer.
if it doesn't pass smog, you can take it to a repair shop, have a certain dollar amount of 'work' done, and if it fails again, they'll waive the car for that year. easy, peasy. if you're obd2 its harder cause they scan. I know you said Oregon but Washington is just a bit up the road. I do know, however, that you have to register your car quickly when moving to Oregon. they'll fine you if you live there longer than 30 or 60 days and haven't put in for your ID or registration change or whatever.
