Does anyone know if there’s a preforms exhaust that will fit a 94 gt and still pass California smog?

If what I've been reading is correct, anything after the cats, as long as it exits at or near the stock location and uses mufflers are legal.
This should have the info you need to know: https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/homepage

If you're going with a turbo kit, why would you waste your money?

I know but the car was a family member of mine and they passed away left the car to someone else they didn’t want it so they gave it to me, but the problem is I need it to pass smog so I can get it registered Then I can get it put in my name. I didn’t want have to fix the pipe system to pass smog and then go ahead and rip it out and put a performance system in if i didn’t have to.

Does is have cats and an exhaust now? If so it should most likely pass smog as it is, assuming all the emissions parts are still on it.

If you’re going with a turbo, that will be all the muffler you need.

Sound is prob what I'd be more concerned with. What's the DB limit?

95.

I'm pretty sure any modification of the stock setup will not pass the visual, now. That said, there are people...

If you are in California you don’t need a smog to transfer between family members.
