A station is not allowed to refuse to inspect a vehicle. There may be instances where they cannot inspect a vehicle, but as to actually refusing, no.

Correct, vehicles that are 35 years old and older are not required to be inspected. I would recommend having it done one more time, just to cover your butt.

Almost, a muffler and tailpipe are also required, correct about extending beyond passenger compartment.
