If he's willing to bend the rules yes. Technically, no.
1) It is illegal to move the cats from their original location.
2) It is illegal to use an aftermarket catalytic converter on a OBD II vehicle.
3) Long Tubes are illegal in CA period.

Man, f**k California.
'OP, as long as you know the shop owner and are certain they will ignore your 'mods, and as long as the car passes the actual test parameters you should be fine. I know that my smog shop basically checks to see if there's an engine in the car-I could have a metal casing with hamsters in a wheel in there and they wouldn't notice it...
