I'm running mine with stock exhaust and there is no difference in sound except at cold start up and WOT. No drone, No CEL.
I will soon eliminate ASD & then decide of I want to enhance the exhaust with a modification.

You need to keep your stock pipe.
I'm also in Cali and you may or may not pass the visual inspection part of the smog test depending upon how observant the particular smog monkey you choose. It's best to pick an inspection station in an economically challenged part of town, and if smog monkey catches it; you can always try discreetly holding an extended $20 while saying something like, "you can clearly see that there's a catalytic converter and oxygen sensor in that pipe."
If that doesn't work, then swap the stock pipe back in and then go back and pass the re-test.

I think this is one of the best mods, bang for buck & should probably be the first mod made.
Thanks Chris!
