I was also thinking that there would be allowances, but I could not have stated it as succinctly.

The whole drivetrain makes sense from an emissions standpoint, because the emissions test is narrow and works on the assumption that the car is otherwise what drove out of the factory. A singular emissions mod could be tuned to just pass the test.
