I think people have covered most of the bases about groups and smog. After you're past the Safety Inspection period, you just have to make sure that any mods you've done aren't "ratting you out" via the OBDII port. My modded WRX (no cats) passed for many years; the tune took care of it.
Welcome to the area! Are you moving due to a banking career, by any chance? Charlotte and SF are large hubs for that industry, and one of my brother-in-laws has moved back and forth to take different positions within Wells Fargo.
