They'd get taken to court unless the owner didn't want to fight over a $5k+ issue... There's no way they could prove minor bolt-ons were causing excessive oil consumption.

They have to prove the mods caused OC. Like WarmAndSCSI said.

I honestly do not know. I have Injen CAI and Nismo CBE and the dyno runs I have did not give A/F readings. Nismo CBE is far between test pipes. Interesting though, I am sure someone has dyno runs on theirs with A/F readings, it would be a matter of searching the forum
