mufflers= depends on when and where you go.
Battery= no, unless you get lucky

Javier, getting pass tech is a hit or miss kinda thing. so far they haven't opened my hood with this new car. they probably think it's a four banger. Carlos(losbadgt) rarely gets asked to open his hood too.
i know this doesn't help, but might give you a bit of peace of mind. [patriot]

I passes with my optima strapped down with a bungy cord in sac. But i haven't been asked to open the hood lately.

you can get long J hooks with a rubber strap that is made to hold in batteries like optima's to the stock battery tray for around 10 bucks at kragen in the battery accessory area.

j hooks are not legal either, but it all comes down to who is looking at the car, and how fast it is.
