This goes way beyond just catless headers if that wording stays the same!

"Certified motor vehicles and motor vehicle engines and their emission control devices must remain in their certified configuration even if they are used solely for competition or if they become nonroad vehicles or engines”. 80 Fed. Reg. 40138, 40565 (July 13, 2015).

This would include tunes, FI, exhausts and just about any part on an engine. Hell they could even say tires if the ones you wanted could be shown to impact emissions.
