The converters and their applications are shown below: Series No Engine Size Max. Yeh. Wt . TD—2000 5.7L (350 CID) 5250 lbs TD—4000 3.8L (231 CID) 3750 lbs TD~6000 5.7L (350 CID) 4000 1bs II. CONCLUSTON The applicant has submitted all the required information and based on the submitted exhaust emissions test data, the staff concludes that the two—way catalytic converters meet the criteria set forth in Vehicle Code Section 27156 and Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222(h). III. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends that the exemption be granted as requested and that Executive Order No. D—188—1 be issued, permitting the advertisement, sale and installation of the new aftermarket catalytic converters. IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The TRI—D catalytic converters consist of honeycomb type substrates coated with palladium and rhodium. The substrate is enclosed in an outer shell or container of stainless steel. The 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. DEVICEEVALUATION TRI—D Industries, Inc. provided test data on the catalytic converters. The tests were conducted by DMACS Engineering Laboratories, Inc., Telford, Pennsylvania. Two CVS—75 emission tests were conducted on each of the test vehicles with the converters installed and two CVS—75 tests were conducted with exhaust backpressure simulator. The tests were conducted following the 25,000 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 or inertia weight and engine size of either the mileage accumulation vehicle or the test ("slave") vehicle, whichever has the lower parameters. The test results and conversion efficiencies of the converters are shown below: 1D—2000 Simulator Converter1 Converter2 AverageEfficiency HC (g/mi}) 3.71 0 .48 0.51 86.7% CO (g/mi) 39.78 6.36 6.35 84.0% TD—4000 HC (g/mi) 2.82 0.47 0.63 80.5% CO {g/mi) 24.50 4.85 4.36 81.2% TD—6000 HC {g/mi) 3.13 0.40 0.41 87.0% CO {g/mi) 33.04 2.00 2.79 92.7% All of the conversion efficiencies meet the requirements of the California regulations.
