PERFORMANCE CONSUMER'S BILL OF RIGHTS

Most Vortech supercharger systems are designed to meet CARB requirements for classification as 50 state legal. Street legal certification can be a lengthy process, and systems are sometimes sold by Vortech before 50-state legal classification is granted Contact Vortech directly to confirm the current classification of Your System. The installation of Vortech products except those identified for racing use only" or that "may not be legal for use on public roads', do not void the new vehicle warranty nor should they cause the vehicle to fail an emissions test Notify the vehicle manufacturer if either of these events occurs. If the vehicle manufacturer fails to honor emission/warranty claims, You may contact the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at (202) 260-2080 or www.epa.gov. If federal warranty protection is denied call the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at (202) 326-3128 or www.ftc.gov.
