You are looking for a nuanced reason to be able to run one because you cannot find a direct reference as to it being illegal. There are some references as to prohibited items such as aluminum driveshafts unless originally equipped.
I think it would help you understand the rule book better if you read it in the manner it was written.

Thank you. This is the best take on reading the rulebook I have come across. I'm too analytical for my own good sometimes. Reading between the lines just won't work here.
Thanks again.
