Didn't see this posted here yet, really sucks for a well known shop and tuner
The EPA is apparently going after Evans Tuning/Jeff Evans for 298 counts of breaking the clean air act and millions in fines. Its a long read but interesting

Something that stood out in the first post was
"If the EPA's action against Evans succeeds, they will have, in one fell swoop, made illegal over 90% of the products and services provided by the aftermarket in the United States. Any modification that does not undergo California CARB certification or a US FTP emissions cert, would be de facto illegal for use on any vehicle made after 1971, regardless of the usage or venue of usage for that vehicle. No longer will you be able to custom tune a race car, unless you are willing to spend $10k to custom certify the emissions of that vehicle. And all production based racing series (see World Challenge, for example) would be required to use factory catalysts (which will not last in a race environment of course).
