Let them eat it and put on a new cat and call it a day

This isn't necessarily true. They can't, as a practical matter, open the motor and see if you've changed internals or something like that. It really depends on the terms of the sales contract that one signs and applicable State laws. They probably SHOULD have looked for cats, but if part of the sales contract terms require disclosure of exhaust modifications or cats, and you sign on the line then you are bound by the terms. Remember, their intent is to sell it to a member of the public and it needs to pass State inspection. Sounds to me like the terms of sale are actually good for consumers on the whole, though it seems to have had an unfortunate turn here.
