Default Smog check

It's time for my smog check and I was wondering, I have the SRT intake + ECU and the tanabe hyper medallion exhaust (full catback), will it pass the test? I live in the 626 area.

I know about the visual test thing and I'm just going to borrow a CARB sticker from one of my friends and hope it passes or come up with some dumb excuse. For now, I'm just worried if my car will pass the test or not.
