Thank you for getting my point. We all have to live on this planet for a good long while so it is all of our responsibilities to follow the rules intended to protect it.

It does, volumetrically.
Does the exhaust flow rate and output at 1000 rpm = the exhaust flow rate and output at 8250 rpm? No.
Agreed on the second point, if:
We have responsible laws and agreed upon sensible standards.
No one is advocating despoiling the environment for shitz and giggles, we are asking for sensible regulations and this is a massive red herring.
I wonder how many of the nearly 300 million registered vehicles in the US are actually modded in this fashion? I'm guessing rather few. If I use my family including in-laws, as a very unscientific sample, between 14 people there are 19 vehicles. The only one that has that type of modification is my E63 M6. That is a bit over 5.3%. Red Herring.
If they want to make a lasting positive impact on the environment, ban cows.
