Default Long tube headers!

Ok! I got K&N Intake, Pype mid muffler dual exhaust and SCT liverwire so far. It`s time to drop bucks to header. Even though
I put the Xpipe and dual exhaust, I can`t satisfy with sounds.
Yes, I live in CA. Is there really no way to put long tube header to my stang under any circumstances????????? What if I put shorty header to my stang, what differences will be appeared? I really don`t want to spend my bucks to Shorty one. Some exhaust buddy told me that I can put a long tube header as long as keep CAT. but I`m not sure because of visual inspection when I need to smog check.
Is Anyone who had same exprience or have a professional knowledge about it like a smog buddy?? please help me! thank you.

no idea about CA regulations but if i had one mod to do over again it would be my headers, shorty headers r a waste of money, it looks good but definetly coulda used the money on a boost controller.... towards a rear end.... AFR gauge.... you know, important stuff
