Find a "friend" to help with the smog cert.
From what you have listed I doubt you even pass the sniffer. Some are able to get by if they can at least do that. But no cats and nitros I would think you would be severly challenged.

Technically all that is illegal unless you have a CARB sticker for the intake. Longtubes are a no, cat's or even aftermarket cats are a no, nitrous can be in there, but I heard the bottle must be closed and the main line disconnected on the street.
I just found a friend. If you run longtubes and not cats though you might get a cop give you a ref ticket. I would get some cats to quiet it down and find a way (or a person) for it to pass.
smog laws here are crazy strict.

The addition of a crossover with cats will give you a chance at getting a pass at the sniffer. I had a friend put me on the monitor with ARH's with cats and a Stinger intake and I would have failed in 1st gear and just barely passed in second gear. I would suggest cats + a very conservative tune + a friendly smog shop and you have a chance. Just make sure you KNOW that you will pass before you get plugged in online.
