I would say this too before NJ changed the inspection to just ODBII on 96 and newer and idle test on 95 and older emissions test .
Theres no safety testing what so ever , so no brakes, bald tires , no mirrors a head sized hole in the windshield or no lights of any kind working your good to go as long as it passes emissions.
Most of us here on the list take way better care of our trucks then 95% of the people on the road , I was trying to help Dave from dealing with the numb nuts at NJ MVC (most likely I same one I use ) who tried one time to "sniffer test" my diesel and also dropped my wife's truck off the front end rack and caused $1000 of damage back when they checked the front end.
The other reason I said to Historic plate it is to keep NJ from taking even more money from Reg fees every year as the Historic plates are paid only once then no more reg fees

An exhaust leak could be putting carbon monoxide into the cab creating a deadly situation. In the least the exhaust leak sounds really bad.
