You may pass the emissions portion but you may fail the visual inspection in California with the intake and other bolt ons if the smog tech knows what to look for.

if the smog ref checks it in detail it'll be tough. cali's always getting stricter with their emissions and their visual inspections

My suggestion is put the entire stock exhaust system on the car. Make sure the tune is good, you will be fine.
