Basically, it is illegal in CA to change cats period unless they are damaged or not functioning properly. In my experience they don't look under the car when you do a smog check. There are CARB numbers on the cats themeselves on my BBK short H-pipe on my '00 (for longtubes), but getting CARB approval takes time and money, so I doubt if the whole H-pipe itself is legal, which is probably the case for most of the ones out there for new cars. You may want to check Bassani as I believe that is what comes stock on Cobra R's and therefore must be legal for use in CA.
