                                    EXECUTIVE ORDER D—184—12
                         Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156
                                      of the Vehicle Code

                              MAREMONT EXHAUST PRODUCTS, INC.
             "THREE—WAY PLUS OXIDATION CATALYTIC CONVERTER SERIES 38100—38200"

WHEREAS, Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38391, and Title 13,            California  Code of
Regulations (hereafter "CCR") Section 2222(h), authorize the             California Air Resources
Board (ARB) and its Executive Officer to exempt new aftermarket catalytic converter
from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156.

WHEREAS,   Maremont Exbaust Products,      Inc.   (Maremont) of 2400 Maremont Parkway, Loudon,
Tennessee 37774, has applied to the ARB for exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle
Code Sections 27156 and 38391 to market their aftermarket series 38000 three—way plus
oxidation catalytic converter (TWC + OC) for the following application, except
vehicles equipped with OBD II system:

Type        Use        Series No.   Max. Eng. Size       Max. Test Veh.    Wt.
TWC + oc    0C         38100        5.91 (360 CID)       5,000 lbs.
THC + oc    TwC        38100        5.9L (360 CID)       5,000 lbs.
TWC + 0C    TWC + 0C   38200        5.9L    (360 CID)    5,000 lbs.

WHEREAS,   pursuant to the authority vested in the Executive Officer by Health and
Safety Code Section 39515 and in the Chief, Mobile Source Operations Division by
Health and Safety Code Section 39516 and Executive Order G—45—9, the ARB finds that
the above aftermarket catalytic converter complies with the California Vehicle Code
Section 27156 and Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222(h).  Emission
performance of the catalytic converter was based on durability bench—aging of the
catalyst using Johnson Matthey EDC—53 bench—aging cycle for 25 hours, accepted by the
ARB to be equivalent to 25,000 miles durability mileage accumulation using AMA driving
cycle (Reference Appendix IV, Title 40, part 86,         Code of Federal Regulations       (June 28,
1977)), for this application.

IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the above catalytic converter is exempt from the
probibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for installation on the approved
application vehicles subject to the following conditions:

     1.    No changes are permitted to the catalytic converter as described in the
           application for exemption.  Any changes to the catalytic converter or any of
           its components, and other factors addressed in this order must be evaluated
           and approved by the ARB prior to marketing in California.

    2.     Marketing of the cataiytic converter using identifications other than those
           shown in the exemption application,        and in this Executive Order,    or
           marketing of the catalytic converter for application other than the ones
           shown in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is
           obtained from the ARB.  Exemption of this product shall not be construed as
           an exemption to sell,    offer for sale,     or advertise any components of the
           catalytic converter as individual devices.

    3.     Any oral or written references to this Executive Order or its content by
           Maremont Exbhaust Products, Inc., its principals, agents, employees,
           distributors, dealers, or other representatives must include the disclaimer
           that the Executive Order or the exemption it provides is not an endorsement
           or approval of any emissions reduction claims for the catalytic converter
           and is only a finding that the catalytic converter is exempt from the
           prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156.
