Part of that visual inspection includes a throttle 'snap test' where the tech revs the engine (3,000 rpm?) three times in quick succession and looks at the opacity of the smoke. They they make a purely subjective call on if the smoke is too opaque. A tune will likely increase the amount of smoke at full throttle.
If nothing else, get your smog inspection on a very windy day.

What did you do to your SMB today?
Big day today.
Installed rear airbags (courtesy of Spomo1).
Installed new speakers in the front doors.
Fixed a broken handle on the 60 door.
Popped in a late model dog house console, replacing my 2000 model. I had rented a new 15 passenger a while back and decided the new console layout was far better than mine.
Feeling like I've got a new van in the driveway

Nice! Just installed front airbags in mine last night, and am doing the rears tonight or tomorrow, so your post is inspirational.
I didn't know newer doghouses could fit the older vans. Kicking myself because I saw one at the Pick-n-Pull a few weeks ago and am sure I could have gotten it cheap.

My last plastic GoRhino broke when I bottomed out at Desert Center so I found a shiny replacement

Replaced the house battery and repaired my Honda generator. Note to self: Do not drop spark plug into the case of the generator.

Today I put a picture of my Sprinter on the TomTom to follow around.

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
I'm taking care of any Stiction I might have! That plus did an oil change and replaced my full flow filter. I replace the bypass filter every other time. I'm now just dump new oil in and replace filters in every 5 - 6K miles. I also get a Blackstone report most oil changes.

I put my awning on with my new Z brackets and added a second ladder to the driver side since my awning went all the way to the end of the van.
