Any emissions-related DTCs? If not, you're good to go!

Where? Can you see a testpipe on an S4? Mine is rather obvious.

Default If the car has ODBII it's all done from the ECU

so there is no sniffer test.

FWIW, my 20+ year old 944 with a gutted cat just went through emissions. All the numbers were good except for NOCs on the 15mph test which were just barely over the limit. (And this was with a tail pipe sniffer test.)

Emission tests don't do visual inspections. They are only concerned with what's coming out of the tailpipe.
