Why just them?

There are tons of folks making catless downpipes and tunes, and just Cobb Tuning gets fined?

Not just Cobb -- see further in the article:

"Signs of potential litigation from the EPA have circled Cobb since 2022, when (...) the EPA placed a major focus on aftermarket companies and emissions regulations (and) several other tuners were hit with large penalties for their role in the distribution of those parts."

Not a political post...

The recent SCOTUS ruling on Chevron vs. Natural Resources Defense Council should be an opportunity for COBB to void this Agreement they were forced to reach with the EPA.
