F-sport is factory parts (F-sport IS). You don't need to worry.

Having the sticker or not, it depends on where you go to get your smog check. The place that I went to asked me where I placed the sticker, which was under my hood.

If you don't have the sticker, you can print this out

All smog certs MUST be compliant with CA emissions. I got a homie on the east side whom I thought I could squeeze by without a sticker and he gave me the boot. He told me he wasn't gonna lose his business over me and I was cool with that. Even my turbo diesel truck needs to be visually compliant(no cats) and that sucks ***** cause I got that tuned to tha tee. No sticker no pass. No cat no pass.

In California it most certainly will.

Nope. I've even brought cars into Cali from out of country. No stickers, passed smog. Done!

Caveat, that was 5 years ago, UNLESS things have changed since then.

Hook it up bro. Lol. Not every place will do it and if you're lucky you can get away with it. I have my stock just lazy to swap. Lol. At any rate you're not getting much with an intake anyways, tests have been proven and the company's lie out their ****. Anyone got a hook up in the Bay Area hit me up.
