LOL dont buy a sticker yet. Put the stock tune and airbox. Sure its annoying but its not an everyday thing. I do it everytime I go to the dealer. No big deal.

Drive it a good 50 miles also, just in case they can tell if the computer has recently been disconnected (or flashed)

Get it inspected at some gasoline staions and they charge like 100-200 bucks but they could care less and you will pass. Thats what you get for going to the free place I would never go there even though my car is stock they'd prob say my tint on lightswould faillol. Hurray for new cars! My next inspection is in 2010!
