The backup argument I would make is that any other interpretation of this law is effectively making it illegal to manufacture aftermarket exhaust parts - whether OEM replacement or performance. No way that would EVER fly in a court of law, and there is no way industry would let it.

To do otherwise would single handedly put all Meineke & Midas franchises out of business.
Yes two different verbs. If you remove the muffler and put the same thing back you have replaced it. If you remove it and put something different in it's place you have modified it.
