On the visual inspection it depends on the smog station. I recently took my CRX race car in to see if it would pass visual. The smog station pulled out a big book which told them everything to look for on my car. If you go to a shop that's anal and checks, then you'll be screwed. When I smog my Boxster though they don't look underneath it and they don't even ask to look at the engine.

I've found this theme to be true to almost every porsche. Most smog shops just assume the car is louder then "regular" cars because well its a performance oriented car. Even if they thought different, most wont want to put the car on a lift to check for issues anyway and it's probably 100% assured that they wont even know how to open the hood of the car regardless.
