Default Smog experts -- should I keep my stock equipment?

Space is somewhat at a premium in my apartment. I now have a stock header + cat + exhaust that came off when I put on my new exhaust and header. I'd love to sell this stuff and forget about it, but considering I come from CA, I'm wondering if I should keep it for when smog days roll around.

My new exhaust is a WS2 catback w/Magnaflow cat. My header is by DC Sports (CARB legal! ). I know smog is a "case-by-case" basis, but if anyone can shed some light on if I should keep my stock equipment? Thanks.

I would at least keep the header and cat. They don't take up that much room and a catback exhaust shouldn't affect smog.
