I just purchased my SC last week. I do not have it yet so I cannot speak from experience. I had read and asked this same question when I bought it. This is directly copied from Ripp's site
"Most notably should something ever go wrong with any mechanical part of the RIPP Supercharger kit, simply remove the longer serpentine belt supplied and powering the SDS, and reinstall your factory belt which takes minutes and your completely back to stock. This also comes in handy if you live in a state that require stringent emissions testing, simply take the SDS out of the loop and your back to stock. You will not have to reverse any other part of the fuel or electronics to do this, A FEATURE NONE of our competitors can boast."
Notice the part in RED. Like I said. I cannot vouch for this working but they make the statement on their site. One of the reasons I went ahead and made the purchase. But not the main reason.

I live in Illinois so no worries here yet so when that day comes I will cross that bridge. Just wanted to pass on what I read on Ripp's site prior to making my purchase.
So they actually pop the hood and look at the air filter. Wow
You can tell I have never lived in an inspection state. I thought they just shoved something in the exhaust pipe.

Man I'm bummed. I truly love my Ripp Supercharger.The power and torque are great. The problem is the tune has left several of my sensors in a "not ready" state. Here in Texas, I need those or can't pass inspection. I took it back to the mechanic who installed it. He contacted Diablo who said the do that to accommodate headers and such. Diablo sent a revised tune that was supposed to fix it but it didn't. My mechanic will go back to Diablo, but meanwhile I'm driving around illegal because my inspection expired. Bummer, bummer, bummer.
state the issue -they have tune updates for that
