I think all of those items are legal. They look for stuff UNDER the hood. Cold air intakes that look aftermarket is something they will deffinately look at.
EGR is a must. All vacuum lines in place, and not plugged.
If you change things, try to make it look really good, like for a car show. Cap off unused vacuum ports, no loose wire connectors, hoses etc.
A GOOD smog tech will know what he's looking at/for. A lazy or stupid one won't.
It's a $10k fine for the shop if the tech gets caught cheating.
The CARB does undercover sting operations everyday, somewhere in the state.
