    Inspection Legality of Nitrous?

    Just curious about this point, but is nitrous legal during state safety inspections? I can't see how it would be illegal since it doesn't modify emissions equipment, and unlike a supercharger/turbo it's not on all the time. I might call up NX since they're a Texas company but they're closed at this hour

    Find out what other members in TX are doing about the inspections with the nitrous. Maybe check out some of the other boards.

    Here's the answer I received from NX. I only inquired about Texas inspections:

    In Texas, it really just depends on who you go to. Though it's not really an illegal modification, if the facility is a jerk and wants to fail you they can legally do so.
