you got that notice today too huh? With a Stage 2 map, shouldn't you be running an aftermarket DP? Anyways, With the stock DP you should pass the sniffer test, but the aftermaket uppipe wont pass visual.

call local shops and ask how much to swap everything out and then back in...unless its a job you can do yourself, in which case you're gonna need to free up a few days from your schedule
