I noticed the following phrase at the top of the literature that came with my Roush supercharger kit:

"Not legal for sale or installation on smog controlled vehicles"

Wonder if this is a sign of potential emission inspection problems down the road? Anybody with a Roushcharger have emission inspection difficulties?

I'm not too worried...yet. I'm good for at least two years. Our state doesn't require an emissions inspection until the 2nd anniversary of a new vehicle purchase. It's annually thereafter.

I'm in maryland and I have not had a problem with it, all they do it check for CEL and plug in to the OBD2 port and your done takes 10 mins,

 

It means that Roush didn't certify the kit to be smog-compliant...it's their way of saying that you're on your own.

It all comes down to what your state smog requirements are. Some states do very little. Depending on the tune, you might pass the sniffer. But if you have to pass a visual inspection in your state, you're sorta screwed.

 

Oops!

 

For F-150's:

The non-IC kit is CARB EO# D418-3

I don't believe the IC kit is CARB compliant yet. That explains why you don't see too many stage III Roush F-150's in California.

 

It definately wouldn't pass emissions inspection in C.A. but I'm sure you wont have to worry about that.
