Question California exhaust modification laws?

I am going to get a AWE track edition exhaust for my w205 C450 AMG. I wonder if this exhaust is California legal before I buy it. After installing the AWE exhaust will I still pass the emission test and the vehicle sound test? Do I have to get my car tested with the new exhaust and get certificates for the exhaust? If no, can I go and get the car tested and obtain the certivate in advance so that in case a cop pulls me over I can show him the prove so that I don't get a citation? Thank you in advance

Called a shop today to have the secondary cat's deleted, and they tell me they cannot. Anyone know of a shop that will install the Mikes Power Pipe (replaces 2nd cats)?

My understanding is all cats and sensors have to be as delivered.
As for noise, that is a separate issue.
