depends on your additude and the officer's mood. He can cite you for LEGAL exhaust or intake with a carb sitcker on it. You additude when pulled over has the 99% of if you will get cited for those things or not unless you get pulled over for street racing.

And what happens when you "have to get a smog test", what then?

There are things beyond the smog check that can get you too. There have been instances where the police have come in on smaller "parking lot" type meets and opened hoods, and at that point you've got real issues. Referee's getting involved, having to uninstall kits..

Officers also receive training to identify non-approved aftermarket parts, and while it might be difficult to notice headers, a turbo or SC kit will be pretty easy to spot.

Just a giant pain and a worry for a daily driver..

There aren't too many details to go into - about the only way to "get around that" in CA is to pay off the smog test guy. And then you'll still have the issues to deal with that the other guys have mentioned.
