EVALUATION OF MAREMONT NEW AFTERMARKET CATALYTIC CONVERTERS FOR EXEMPTICN a~ FROM THE PROHIBITIONS OF VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 AND TITLE 13, CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, SECTION 2222(h) I. INTRODUCTION Maremont Corporation of Carol Stream, Illincis, has applied for an exemption for their new aftermarket catalytic converters, which are shown in Table 1 of the Appendix, in accordance with the California regulations on new aftermarket catalytic converters. In addition, they have applied for an exemption to allow the use of their three—way and three—way plus oxidation converters in two—way applications. II. CONCLUSION The applicant has submitted all the required information and based on the submitted exhaust emissions test data, the staff concludes that the catalytic converters meet the criteria set forth in Vehicle Code Section 27156 and Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222(h). III. COMM TION The staff recommends that the exemption be granted as requested and that Executive Order No. D—184—5 be issued, permitting the advertisement, sales and installation of the new aftermarket catalytic converters. IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The Maremont catalytic converters consist of honeycomb type substrates coated with platinum and palladium plus rhodium and enclosed in an outer shell or container of stainless steel. The three—way plus oxidation catalytic converter additionally incorporates an air injection tube between two substrates.

The Maremont Corporation catalytic converters use materials and construction similar to the original equipment manufacturers. The catalytic converters are sold with installation instructions and kits as shown in the application catalog. They are also sold with a two year or 25,000 mile warranty on the substrates and five years or 50,000 miles on the container or shell. v. V TION Maremont Corporation provided test data for the catalytic converters. The tests were conducted by Automotive Testing and Development Services, Inc. (formerly Olson Engineering, Inc.), Huntington Beach, California. Two CVS—75 emission tests were conducted on the test vehicle with the converter installed and two CVS—75 tests were conducted with exhaust backpressure simulator. The tests were conducted following the 25,000 miles mileage accumulation on each of the two test converters. The mileage accumulation vehicles had test weights and engine displacement equal or higher than the test vehicle. Exemption for each converter application is limited to the actual test weight and engine size of either the mileage accumulation vehicle or the test ("slave") vehicle, whichever has lower parameters. The conversion efficiencies of the converters, maximum vehicle weight and maximum engine displacement are shown in Table 1 of the Appendix. All of the conversion efficiencies meet the requirements of the California regulation. The staff based the evaluation of the new aftermarket catalytic converters on the information submitted and tests data from Automotive Testing and Development Services, Inc.
