Hedman Hedders submitted the following Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure emission results: NMOG CO NOx HCHO (grams per mile) With Headers 0.072 0.720 0.128 0.001 DF—Applied 0.082 0.813 0.143 0.001 50,000—Mile Standard 0.125 3.4 0.4 0.015 The test data show that the Chikara exhaust headers did not adversely affect the exhaust emissions of the 1996 model—year Honda Accord. The same emissions impact is expected when the Chikara exhaust headers are installed on the various Honda vehicles for which the exemption is requested. This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for the Chikara exhaust headers not recommend tuning the vehicles to specifications different from those of the vehicle manufacturer.
