    CA. 90232 has applied for an exemption from the prohibitions in Section

    27156 of the California Vehicle Code (¥C) for the Tubular Exhaust Manifold

    System, Model No. 89461.   The Tubular Exhaust Manifold System is designed

    for installation on 1987—1992 Ford electronic fuel injected (EFI) trucks

    powered by a 7.5 liter gasoline Y—8 engine.

         Hedman has submitted a completed application and all the required

    information including comparative exhaust emissions test data from an

    independent laboratory which shows that the Tubular Exhaust Manifold System

    does not have any adverse effects on the emissions of the applicable

    vehicles.

         The staff recommends that Hedman be granted an exemption as requested

    and that Executive Order D—167—1 be issued for their Tubular Exhaust

    Manifold System, Model No. 89461.

I.           INTRQDUCTION
       Hedman Manufacturing (Hedman) of 9599 W. Jefferson Blvd. Culver City,

CA. 90232 has applied for an exemption from the prohibitions in Section

27156 of the California Vehicle Code (YC) for the Tubular Exhaust Manifold

System, Model No. 89461.      The Tubular Exhaust Manifold System is designed

for installation on 1987—92 Ford electronic fuel injected (EFI) trucks

powered by a 7.5 liter gasoline V—8 engine.. Hedman has submitted a

completed application and all the required information including comparative

exhaust emissions test data peffcrmed at Milton Roy Company.

II.          CONCLUSIONS
       Based on submitted data from emissions testing performed at an

independent laboratory, the staff concludes that the Tubular Exhaust

Manifold System does not have any adverse effects on emissions of the

applicable vehicles.

III.         RECOMMENDATION
       The staff recommends that Hedman be granted an exemption as requested

and that Executive Order D—167—1 be issued for their Tubular Exhaust

Manifold System, Model No. §9461.

IV.          TUBULAR EXHAUST MANIFOLDSYSTEMDESCRIPTION
       The Hedman Tubular Exhaust Manifold System is designed for installation

on 1987—92 Ford trucks powered by a 7.5 liter (460 CID) fuel injected

gasoline engines.    The Hedman Tubular Exhaust Manifold System consists of

exhaust manifolds and pre—catalyst piping.      As with theboriginaI equipment

                                        —1—


manufacturer‘s (OEM) exhaust system, the function of Hedman‘s system is to

route exhaust gases from the two exhaust manifolds of the engine into a

common pipe which then feeds to the catalytic converter.           fach cylinder has

a 1.75" diameter tube that combines with the adjacent tube into a 2"

diameter tube.    On each side of the engine, these two 2" tubes combine into

a 2.25" diameter tube.    Finally all the exhaust gases are then routed into a

3" tube which feeds into the pre—catalyst piping.         All tutes are comprised

of— #16 gage steel.

     The purpose of Hedman Manufacturing exhaust system is to enhance the

exhaust flow through the use of steel tfibing with mandrel type bending

methods used.     The manufacturer claims, use of mandrel—type bending method

prevents the tubing from being crushed or reduced in size during the bending

of the tubing, thereby allowing the engine to work more efficiently.

      The system operates in conjunction with the OEM computer controlled

electronic port fuel injection and emission control systems already

certified with the stock engine.     Insta]]ation of the Hedman‘s exhaust

system does not alter the OEM location of the oxygen sensor and catalyst

where applicable.     The tune—up specifications also remain the same.

v.              SCUSSION OF_TH   BULAR     EXHAUST   MANTFOLD   SYST

     A 1991 Ford F—250 pick—up truck with a 7.5 liter (460 CID) fuel

injected gasoline engine was used for the evaluation of the Tubular Exhaust

Manifold System, Model No. 89461.        The dynamometer inertia weight and

loading used were 7000 lbs. and 18.2 hp. respectively.

     Comparative emissions tests conducted by Milton Roy Laboratory for

Hedman consisted of one Cold—Start CVS—75 emission test in the unmodified

{baseline} configuration, followed by one Cold—Start CVS—75 emission test

                                         _2«


in the modified (header system installed) configuration.   The Air Resources

Board (ARB) did not perform tests to confirm the test results submitted by

the applicant.

     The following are the emissions test results from testing conducted at

Milton Roy Company.

                          Independent Laboratory:

      Miiton Roy Company, 1238 West Grove Ave., Orange, CA 92665—4134

     Data
                              HC       CO       NOx

Baseline                    C.661     10.120   6.568

W/Device                    0.742      9.872   7.060

Difference                  0.080     —0.200   0.490

     The differences between the device emission test results and baseline

emission test results submitted by the applicant were within the allowed

limits of 0.1 gm/mile or 10 percent of baseline HC, 1.0 gz/mile or 15

percent of baseline CO and .1 gm/mile or 10 percent of baseline NOx as

specified in the "Procedures for Exemption of Add—On and WKodified Parts."

Based on the test results, the staff concludes that the installation of the

Tubular Exhaust Manifold System will not have an adverse effect on exhaust

emissions of the affected vehicles.    Hedman Manufacturing submitted all the

required information and fulfilled the requirements for exemption.
