    Supercharger and SMOG Check?

    I'm interested in buying Jay Dunford's Supercharger but not sure about a aftermarket supercharger and the Smog laws in California.

    What I can gather is it will fail the visual inspection since it's not CARB Certified (California Air Resources Board). It seems that it will pass if I find the right Smog station...

    Can any one offer some advice.

    The worst scenario, is to take it off when I have to have it smog and put it back on when it passes.

    Two solutions...

    Yes...find a smog station that will pass it...
    ..they are more concerned with air filter and emissions...so its doable.
    I may be able to help...I have a smog place in Pacific Beach that
    ( depending on who is working!).. is pretty cool with reasonable mods.
    Assuming youre in this area !

    Second, and easy proper option.
    Take it to a California State garage and get an exempt sticker..
    They look/maybe test..and put a sticker on the non OEM parts that
    viewable... or give you a letter.

    I have an exempt letter from them for my exhaust...
    ...as OEM are not available.

    I found the solution! You must have a an EO#(executive order number) assigned to your aftermarket supercharger from the state of California.

    It seem the SA Alpine Development Inc. has one with the state, #D-551

    Gotta love Google!
