That's if you are in a county that does emissions (counties around the major cities). Most counties do a basic saftey inspection and it's like $14 something I think. I live in a non-emissions county and plan on continuing to do so.

It's all in the tune. I pass full emission inspections without any issues. Of course I'm running a custom tune that leaves *most* things enabled, enough for passing the OBDII readiness/dtc checks.

So yeah, you can easily pass inspection with a supercharger.
