Where do you live? Smog regs are very different across the nation.

most OBDII tests (which is what your vehicle should require) do a scan through the DLC for any systems not complete, DTC's or the presence of a MIL (or CEL). OBDII tests fail for any number of reasons, not complete systems coming from resetting a battery and not allowing enough time for the system reset, and with DTC's you can have one of those for any number of reasons. and hopefully a CEL would be obvious. assuming the HKS is your only mod, or at least as long as you have no CEL because of DTC'S you should pass any OBDII test.

Considering a cat back exhaust is completely legal, YES.
