As long as what you modify stays behind the back-most catalytic converters, there should be no emissions trouble. However, I don't know laws regarding modification of exhaust for sound levels. I just know you aren't supposed to even relocate factory cats from the factory installed positions, they HAVE to be there and they HAVE to be in the factory position for them to be fully legal.
Leave your cats just do a magnaflow universal x and 18" magnaflow meg deletes. Kali aftermarket cats must have an EO number stamped on the cats.

If he leave your cats and fabs the rest then it would.
Yes. But the new cats also are stamped with the EO#. I spoke to a local shop owner and the state does drop in inspections; they literally pulled all cats from the shop with no EO# (he keeped a few). Most smog techs have no clue but every year it's harder and harder to get away as the state is stepping up their compliance efforts particularly with fines to shops.
