I'd have to disagree with your statement. I know manufacturers that couldn't pass emissions until they actually made CARB test a stock vehicle and it failed(not on a Jeep). Every supercharger manufacturer has had issues getting the Gladiator emissions approved. Some of the favorites on here took as many as 10x to get approved. First they based it off the JL which everyone passed, but then found out the JT was dirtier. EVERYONE had to retest again. It is even more messed up that the 21 is cleaner than the 20.There are numbers concerning the levels of particulate and tail pipe gases as well as requirements for equipment and the controls required to run it.
I have not seen all the SC kits, but the kit containing the 1900cc compressor, maintains all the required emissions equipment and controls. The gray area becomes when you manipulate the calibration of the control, but these things are still a challenge to detect from a governing aspect. So that leaves us with tail pipe emissions. This latest operating system from FCA or whomever, is quite impressive in a big picture kind of way. You have to really dig or be a catastrophic monkey to screw up its ability to meet emissions. It runs on adaptive Models that close loop around multiple air fuel ratios for different operating conditions, this goes one step further with automatic transmissions as the torque management is further manipulated to keep the engine in happy spots, so to speak.
With the ability to reliably run the engine "clean" all the time you can get away with stuff that would normally be really light duty.
I find it humerous these engines still require an EGR valve. With the airflow model and VVT it for all intents and purposes is obsolete, but required by emissions. Probably due to the fact people making the rules have a hard time letting 1s and 0s take over even though 90 percent of their communication is digital.
So at the end of the day. Carb practically for any aftermarket company is the ability to maintain all stock emissions equipment and have a passing tail pipe report.
Sorry about the thesis, my mind went a wandering
