i dont know about you but i dont have the time or money for ref tickets, got 1 with my turbo eclipse and the ref failed me for a K&N pod filter on the stock intake pipe
sure some refs dont care about bolt on parts but there are some who are real a-holes and it honestly isnt worth the time or money

People think ref tickets are such a big deal when they really aren't. If you cant afford the tickets you are going to get then just don't mod your car. Smog isn't a big deal for me either. I never have smogged a car in my life.

cool story bro, refer to my ref experience above
all it took was one ticket for me to learn, and it cost me close to $400 to put my eclipse back to stock and pay for the ref fines plus i had to take 2 days off work to get everything done
too much of a PITA for me to deal with, i would personally rather modify the stillen kit, not make as much hp, and not get hassled by cops/refs for mods(having the sticker is no guarantee from cops but i doubt refs will take apart the entire kit and measure everything and make sure the kit is still at carb spec), oh and its not about not being able to afford tickets i will get(as you say), its about not wasting time and money on getting around CARB(and thats great you live in an area with no emissions testing, i dont live in an area with no emissions so unlike you, i have to smog my cars every 2 years)
oh and the comment about test pipes, i could care less about test pipes, if i wanted a loud car with amazing flow(but i dont), i would just put an electric cutout before the cat after installing the supercharger and getting the carb sticker
trust me if i lived in another state, ill be all over fast intentions twin turbo kit or GTM's MHI twin turbo kit, but unfortunately i live in california so that isnt the case
