        This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the Exhaust
        Headers may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer.

        This Executive Order is granted based on emissions test data generated on a 1994 General
        Motors 5.7L €1500 truck, certified to the tier 1 emission standards and a 1999 General Motors
        5.3L C1500 truck, certified to the low emission vehicle standards. Testing consisted of Cold
        Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedures. Emission levels of the modified vehicles either met the
        applicable emission stangdards, or are within the allowable limits over the baseline as specified
        in the "Procedures for Exemption of Add—On and Modified Parts." The following test results are
        in grams per mile:

        This Executive Order is also based on On—Board Diagnostic |I (OBD I!I) testing conducted on the
        same 1999 vehicle. Test data showed that the headers when installed on the vehicles did not
        affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform its OBD 11 monitoring.
