I am a newbie as well (2nd Z however), the Stillen G3 intake and dual exhaust alone will add roughly 40 RWHP to a stock 370Z. And depending on where you live will pass smog tests too :-)

Will it pass in CA spdonegan?

Intake/CBE won't hurt you for smog tests, if you get either the Long Tube Headers or HFCs/Test Pipes you might pop for a smog test.

Best option for cali folks is to get HFC's and keep your stock cats for when you need to go get smog tested. Swap and test, then swap back once you're good.

Smog test in CA requires visual and pipe test, as of my last check the Stillen G3 and any form of cat replacement will fail the visual (turkeys, if it passes pipe tests they shouldn't freaking care). The G3 does have 'CARB pending' on it which means Stillen, God bless them, are paying the ridiculous amounts of $ to get it approved. Aftermarket cats/test pipes definitely will NOT pass the CA smog nazi's

This is why you keep your stockers, and right before you go test, you swap the stockers back in, and get tested. Then once you pass, swap them back out.
