WHEREAS, Car Sound Exhaust System, Inc. (Car Sound) of 22961 Arroyo Vista, Rancho Santa Margarita, California 92688, has applied to the Air Resources Board for exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 to market its new aftermarket Series 42000 three—way catalytic converter (TWC) for installation on selected 1996 through 2001 model year Honda passenger cars equipped with on—board diagnostic II (OBD—I!) systems as specified in Appendix D—193—31 and incorporated herein. The Series 42000 TWC will be used for single (1 unit) exhaust system applications for selected Honda passenger cars. The TWC may also be installed on non—OBD II vehicles (1995 and older) similar in engine and exhaust configuration to those listed in Appendix D—193—31. 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—02—003, Air Resources Board 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). The emissions performance of the aftermarket catalytic converter was based on durability bench—aging by Delphi Energy and Chassis Systems using Air Resources Board—modified RAT—A bench— aging cycle for 75 hours, as specified in the "Optional Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Non—original Equipment Catalytic Converters Equipped with On—Board Diagnostic i1 (OBD I1) Systems." WHEREAS, emissions tests conducted at the Automotive Testing and Development Services, Inc. (ATDS), Ontario, California, using a 1998 2.3L Honda Accord equipped with a single (1 unit) exhaust system, and certified to the Low Emission Vehicle (LEV, PC) emission standards showed that the vehicle met the applicable emission standards with Series 42000 TWC (1 unit) installed. ® OBD I! compatibility tests performed on the same test vehicle showed that Series 42000 TWC did not affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform OBD 11 system monitoring. Emission test results in grams per mile are shown below.
