Anytime you mess with the cats or exhaust portion you will not pass a smog test especially if they use the sniffer.
Unless the parts are carb legal (which they should state) you will not pass.
HFCs unless carb approved should only pass the visual test. If they do sniffer it may or may not pass.
Most people uninstall them and put on oem stuff for annual testing. Those who don't know how to wrench have to pony up cash every year for this.
