RIPP supercharger Emissions Test
Does the RIPP supecharger cause any issue during an emissions or smog test?
Did some research and found that the superchargers are not CARB approved, though many people in CA are running these upgrades.

Will not pass the visual inspection. You will have to take off the supercharger and put back on the OEM filter and you should pass.
Don't have to worry for a couple more years. New cars are exempt for 6 years after manufacture from smog checks.

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..."
