It will affect performance at the inspection station. INSTANT FAIL.

Won't make a detectable difference anywhere else.

Don't even think about it, where you live. Not worth the trouble of dinking with it.

All it does is blow fresh air into your exhaust manifolds and catalytic converter to burn excess hydrocarbons (unburnned fuel). It's an emissions device only. It does nothing other than add a pulley onto your belt system, and clean up your tail pipe gasses.
