Hello guys,
In our experience... its usually best to do just like Mindz said. Keep in mind that there are 2 parts to the smog test: 1) the visual portion 2) the actual emissions/output portion.
The smog technicians are told to look under the hood and under the car to try and spot any "illegal" modifications... the fact is that sometimes they don't look all that carefully and so you might be able to sneak by with longtube headers and the corresponding high-flow catalytic converters.
We have actually seen some customers with other types of vehicles pass their smog tests w/ long tubes and high flow cats... especially if the cars are stock or very close to stock. At this point, then they MIGHT pass the emissions portion but don't forget that you are still at the technician's mercy for the visual portion!
Take care and let me know if any other questions,
Gonzalo
