Talk to your tunner, might know a shop that looks past the visual and as long as it passes the sniffer. Your tunner can lean out your map a little to ensure and with a stock cat, should be fine.

As of January st of this year, CA has changed the smog rules to a 'plug in only' smog test. Basically they plug a computer into your OBD port and make sure that all systems check out 'ok' without any errors. They are no longer perfoming he sniffer test.

check on socalevo.net, there was a thread about this with a link to the dmv info
