simple.. most of the time, you cant alter ANYTHING. it depends on your states regulations, though.

most of ur peformance parts like headers intake etc etc are required to have a CARB sticker. without a sticker like that ur not gonna pass the visual. slap the stock intake on if u have to and stuff like that.

there is no "magical" stuff to add to gas tanks.

frankly, theres NO reason to disable or remove any smog equpiment anyway, as you will generally lose performance and drivability doing so.
if youre just talking about switching intakes and exhaust systems, well, they do need to be approved for california use, otherwise they ARE illegal.
