My registration will be due Jan, 2019. Pretty sure I'll have to smog it to get the registration, I think it will be 2 years since the last time. This might be the first time I smog it a few months early so I can get the pipe changed early. I usually pay the registration the day before its due, then smog it a few weeks later.
It's very difficult to believe that these smoggers know enough about the 6.7 to glance at it and spot a strange hose. But on the other hand the gestapo has no sense of humor so I can see your point.
They know. They see them a lot. They are blind tested constantly by the state. State shows up with a highly modified vehicle, except the inspector does not know it's the state bringing it. Full of legal aftermarket parts, and one factory thing disconnected. The inspector has to find it, but doesn't know he is being tested. The fine is heavy if he misses it.
Any aftermarket part has to have a CARB number on it, they enter the CARB number into the computer and that CARB number has to be registered with your make/year/engine otherwise it fails.
