Go completely stock for the ref. Dont take the risk of it not passing since the ref is about a $100 to get your car checked by them. You dont want to have to go back again (waste of time and money). I had issues with intake and exhaust like you did. I went stock, passed and got the cert. saying I was in legal limits of California. Took it to court and told the Judge I was in legal limits of the state (showed cert.) and i was out of there in 1 min. I believed the ticket they wanted me to pay was like $575! Didnt want to take any chances. Better safe than sorry.
