Is there a fee for re-inspection if the exhaust fails?

Generally, there is no charge for re-inspection if the exhaust fails. You can simply get a checklist stamped. Repair at a garage: This method involves replacing all necessary parts such as the fuel injectors, catalytic converter, and any other components that need replacement or adjustment. After these repairs, it becomes easier to pass the exhaust inspection. Cleaning the exhaust system: First, address the fuel injectors—cleaning the fuel system is usually sufficient, so it's recommended to use a fuel additive before inspection. If the injectors are beyond cleaning, the catalytic converter may need replacement. Alternatively, removing the air filter might also help. Replace the spark plugs and use 97-octane gasoline before the test. Rinsing the exhaust pipe with water can also temporarily improve exhaust emissions.
