Hi Justin, welcome to the boards!

You're pretty unlikely to find a "good" shop. I hear there are lots of stings and what not that keep CA shops legit.

Are the Cobb bits not CA legal? You should verify there are no EO numbers for the parts, since that would make your car leal as-is. Cobb's a pretty big seller, I'd hope they'd take the time to get their catted exhausts certified. Then again I'm in NV, so I really don't keep up with the CA rules.

Other than that, you'll be doing what everyone else in CA does: swap the stock bits on for smog, then cringe, lift off the throttle, and cross your fingers every time you see a cop.
