Damn near every aftermarket automotive part I have ever bought contains some variation of the “This is not intended for use on street vehicles, offroad and race use only” somewhere in the description.
I can cut out my cat and weld in a piece of 2 inch pipe and I just created an emissions defeat device… I can fit an oil catch can, if I plug the breather tube back into the intake its legal, if I vent to atmosphere its not.
I mean, people who “roll coal” have no sympathy from me but this case is nowhere near as cut and dried as a lot of people think.
I trust the DOJ to be able to distinguish between a 2 inch pipe and more deliberate devices.
Let me introduce you to our friends the ATF. Or the USDA and their wonderful food pyramid. Government agencies have agendas. You should look at facts and not blindly trust them.
Please tell us the facts of eBay being accused of selling devices that defeat emissions tests. I’m sure we would all love to hear them.
