Default Passing smog with aftermarket exhaust

Team
I have an 04 RX330
Added an Injen universal muffler at the end but I know the mid muffler is the main one and was planning to do a magnaflow. Question is will this impact smog testing ?

Muffler shouldn't effect smog, the catalytic converters are the ones you would worry about.

Agree and thanks for validating my thoughts .
Anyone have thoughts of magnaflow vs flow master for a deeper rumble???

Sticking with just the rear muffler replacement guys. Tried a muffler delete this morning and was setting off alarms. Needless to say the mid muffler went right back on. Running an injen universal muffler and the weapon r short ram intake. Just a tiny rumble barely noticeable and I'm all good with that. No crazy sound just the slightest rumble at low RPM, nothing at speed .
