It was all stock, so he didn't find anything, but he told me they do look for aftermarket parts and missing cats. So just make sure your downpipes look exactly like the OE catted ones on the outside, and you should be good.
Aren't the DPs very hard to see anyway, unless you jack up the car and look beyond the plastic covers?
