You did buy it from someone that claimed it was "better", improved
performance, etc. Probably printed on the box or in their advertising. So
you knowing bought something that "might" give you an unfair
advantage. So, where is it written that we have to protect you from
horsepower scams? You bought it in spite of the claims, we'll likewise
trust the claims and boot you. 8^)
Can you see where I'm going with this? "Sure, I replaced my converter with
a 'high performance' (making the little quotation marks in the air with my
fingers) Brand Y catalytic converter, Mister Protest Filing Man. Now you
just have to prove that my part is illegal."
So, I guess the protest ruling would have to be, "Eric paid big bucks for
something that didn't meet the claims of the manufacturer. And we ruled
against him because his intent was to circumvent the rule, but got taken in
by the manufacturer's false claims of performance gains."
I'm liking the sound of that. 8^)
