Volume is not smog related; you could sound like a 747 turbine and still pass.

A crooked smog is calling a boosted car na, or an inlinepro kit a greddy kit. A test pipe can be summarized easily as a oversight, or a post smog swap. That's hardly crooked.

Whiteflash pretty much nailed it. Carb # required for header and intake. If you plan on running a testpipe, swap it out before smog. Your exhaust is ok, no need to swap it out.

Shameless plug: I have a carb legal comptech 4-1 header for sale in the For Sale section.

ok so this is gonna be my first time getting a smog with my greddy trust tir exhaust. will i fail if i dont have a silencer in it? would they look for that? everything is pretty much stock .

bringing back a thread from the dead... damn... but you will pass without any problems if that is your ONLY mod. if you have a test pipe, your emissions will fail from the sniffer. if you have header, only ones that pass is oem, dc, and comptech (visual). some have gotten away with mugen header since it utilizes a heat shield similar to the oem. intake must have a sticker signifying that it is CARB legal.

As of 2013, MY00 and up no longer needs the sniffer. Just.inspections

Thats funny my '83 Ford still needs a full test, I'm up in Sac but it can't be that different for a smog test.

Smog Information

Currently, smog inspections are required for all vehicles except diesel powered vehicles 1997 year model and older or with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVWR) of more than 14,000 lbs, electric, natural gas powered vehicles over 14,000 lbs, hybrids, motorcycles, trailers, or gasoline powered vehicles 1975 and older.

So any "gas" driven car newer than '75 has to get a SMOG test. My '83 had to get the SMOG test last year and my '06 S this year.
