If you have a major manufacturer's IC, go to the California State Air Research Board (CARB) website and down load an Executive Order saying your IC is smog legal.

Keep this in your glove box.
The IC is part of the air intake system, which affects emissions, so I would think a smog station would fail your car based on visual. But the IC is not real obvious, so they could easily miss it.
