Not an expert in California Emission law, but I bet it would fail a visual inspection because you modified the emission system.

Not sure if the Ford one is legal or not, but it does say Ford on it, so the emission tester would think it was factory.

I would imagine it would all depend on the smog station. Some don't even care as long as it passes the sniff test and OBD2 readiness checks.

It takes 2 seconds to swap out for the stock hose. I would just do that And not worry about it.

The Ford one is pretty nice, and probably would fly under the radar like said above as well.

if it matters, you've got 6 years before you need to smog it anyway.

This^^^. Unless you get busted for longtubes and have to present your car to a state ref, you won't have to worry about it for a very long time.
