stock cornnecting pipes and installation does not require any changes to the oxygen
sensor, which is located in the stock connecting pipes.

Exhaust Manifold Systems will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications
different from those submitted by the device manufacturer.

Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the Tubular Exhaust Manifold
Systems, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the
performance of the vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive
Order.

This Executive Order shall not apply to any Tubular Exhaust Manifold Systems
