Default Is the GTHaus Exhaust street-legal in California?

I am looking for an exhaust system to purchase. I have come across the GTHaus Meistershaft. It's nice and loud/powerful. I am interested in this exhaust. A few questions are left unanswered:

1. Is the exhaust system street legal?

2. Will it pass smog tests/any other tests necessary?

3. How much HP does it give?

Thank You for your time!

1. Why would cat back have any effect on this?

2. See number 1

3. No one knows as no one has got a tune pre and post. You can see what GTHAUS claims on their website.
