Also, CHP will tell you what is 100% legal and nothing but what is 100% legal. Basically... if you have an aftermarket exhaust and you get pulled over, the cop will issue you a fix it ticket or stat-ref ticket no matter how much you bitch and moan that it's legal. He won't care. If you do get a ticket, you'll just have to go to court or state-ref and show the papers saying that it is legal and then get the ticket signed off. Smog wise, it depends on the smog tech. If you get a strict one, he'll check for a cat and then to his own opinion choose whether or not your car even has a chance to pass. But he'll most likely stick the sniffer in it just for the hell of it to see how it does. If you get a cool one (shhhh)... they won't even mind you missing your cat or having a catback. They'll just let you pay for the smog and then if you fail you fail or maybe have you pass o_O. There's really no "theory" in any of this. If you run an aftermarket exhaust you just raise the risk of getting yourself pulled over. This is why I ran a cutout. Being in Fremont, there's one officer that is basically determined in life to take down street racers and all modified cars so me having an exhaust in my area is a pretty big no-no for me =/. Well that's like 40% of the reason... the 60% of it is the drone and being able to sound stock when I want to. But I have nothing against aftermarket exhausts... so no one go seeing this as a flame on exhaust cause it's not.
