Emissions controls, primarily a second catalytic converter under the body in California models.

Indeed, why should people paid to enforce laws which happen to include vehicles spend any time enforcing them?
Because people only obey the law if they think they might get caught. If the cops didn't ...

Why not build a box which fits around the hump? There's nothing to say a sub box has to be rectangular. In fact, curves produce more volume from the same area than do straight lines.
