                                  SUMMARY
     Hedman Manufacturing {Hedman) of 9599 Jefferson Bivd., Culver City,

California 90232, has requested to update Executive Order D—167—1 which

exempts Hedman‘s Tubular Exhaust Manifold System (TEMS) from the

prohibitions of California Vehicle Code Section 27156.    The existing

Executive Order D—167—1 exempts Hedman‘s TEMS for installation on 1987—91

Ford pick—up trucks equipped with a 7.5 liter electronic fuel injected

engine.   The update is requested to include 1992 model—year Ford pick—up

trucks with either a 7.5 liter electronic fuél injected engine.    Hedman also

requested that 1986—92 Ford Mustangs equipped with a 5.0 liter fuel—injected

engine be included in the vehicle application.

     Based on an engineering evaluation along with emission test results

performed by Hedman at an independent laboratory, and that the 1992 vehicles

for which the exemption update is requested are carry—overs from the model—

years for which an exemption has been granted, the staff concludes that

Hedman‘s TEMS will not adversely affect exhaust emission from the vehicles

for which an exemption is requested.

     The staff recommends that Hedman be granted Executive Order D—167—5

allowing the installation of their TEMS, part nos. 88600, 88600—6, 89461 and

89461—6, on 1986—92 Ford Mustangs equipped with a 5.0 liter engine and 1987—

EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS OF VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE
     WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS


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

California 90232, has requested to update Executive Order D—167—1 which

exempts Hedman‘s Tubular Exhaust Manifold System (TEMS) from the

prohibitions of California Vehicle Code Section 27156.   The existing

Executive Order D—167—1 exempts Hedman‘s TEMS for installation on 1987—91

Ford pick—up trucks with a 7.5 liter electronic fuel injected engine.     The

update is requested to include 1992 model—year Ford pick—up trucks with

either a 7.5 liter electronic fuel injected engine.   Hedman also requested

that 1986—92 Ford Mustangs equipped with a 5.0 liter fuel injected engine

be included in the exemption.

      Hedman claims no changes to the installation instructions or tune—up

specifications are necessary for use of the TEMS on the 1992 updates.



II.   CONCLUSION
      Based on an engingering evaluation along with emission test results

performed by Hedman at an independent laboratory, and that the 1992 vehicles

for which the exemption update is requested are carry—overs from the model—

years for which an exemption has been granted, the staff concludes that

Hedman‘s TEMS, part nos. 88600, 88600—6, 89461 and §9461—6, will not

adversely affect exhaust emission from the vehicles for which an exemption

is requested.


III. RECOMMENDATION
      The staff recommends that Hedman be granted Executive Order D—167—5

allowing the installation of their TEMS, part nos. 88600, 88600—6, 89461 and

89461—6, on 1986—92 Ford Mustangs equipped with 5.0 lTiter engines and 1987—

92 Ford pick—up trucks equipped with 7.5 liter engines.



IV.   IUBULAREXHAUSTMANTEOLDSYSTEMDESCRIPTION
      The Hedman TEMS, part nos. $8600 and 88600—6, are specifically designed

for installation on 1986—92 Ford Mustangs equipped with a 5.0 liter engine

and TEMS, part nos. 89461 and 89461—6, are specifically designed for

installation on 1987—92 Ford pick—up trucks equipped with a 7.5 liter

engine.   The TEMS consists of exhaust manifolds and pre—catalyst piping.    As

with the original equipment manufacturer‘s (OEM) exhaust system, the

function of Hedman‘s TEMS is to route exhaust gases from the two exhaust

manifolds of the engine into a common pipe which then feeds to the catalytic

converter.   The TEMS, part nos. 88600 and $8600—6, for the 1986—92 Ford

Mustangs, have four primary tubes of 1—5/8 inch outside diameter which

combine into a 3 inch outside diameter collector pipe.     The collector pipe

 length is 2—7/8 inches.   The TEMS, part nos. 89461 and 89461—6, for the

1987—92 Ford pick—up trucks have four 1—3/4 inch outside diameter primary

tubes which feed into a 3 inch collector pipe.    The length of the collector

pipe is §—1/2 inches which then feeds into the "Y" pipe.    All tubes are

comprised of #16 gauge steel.

      The TEMS is functionally identical to the cast iron exhaust manifolds

and tubular steel collector pipes of the OEM exhaust system.     The difference


is the design dimensions of the TEMS which optimizes the flow

characteristics of the exhaust gases.    The manufacturer claims TEMS was

designed to improve the flow of exhaust gases from the cylinder heads to the

catalytic converter, thereby promoting improved volumetric and combustion

efficiency.

      The system operates in conjunction with the OEM computer controlled

electronic fuel injection and emission control systems already certified

with the stock engines.   Appendix A contains a sample of the installation

instructions.



Vy.   DISCUSSION
      Hedman has requested an update to their Executive Orders D—167—1 to

allow the use of the TEMS on the applicable 1992 model—year trucks.     Their

Tubular Exhaust Manifold Systems are identical to those previously approved

for the 1987—91 trucks.   The staff compared the engine design of the 1991

and 1992 model—year trucks.     Since the 1992 model—year trucks certified for

California sales were carried—over from the 1991 model—year, no additional

exhaust emission tests were required or performed.

      Hedman also requested the exemption to cover installation of TEMS on

1986—92 Ford Mustangs equipped with a 5.0 liter engine.     Previous test data

has shown that for header applications, the "worst" case vehicle is the

vehicle with the largest engine displacement and gross vehicle weight.

Hedman previously tested on a 1991 Ford F—250 pick—up truck equipped with a

7.5 liter engine.   The 1991 Ford F—250 pick—up truck‘s emission increase due

to the use of the TEMS (see Table 1) is within the allowable increase of 10
percent or.0.1 g/mi HC, 15 percent or 1.0 g/mi CO, and 10 percent or 0.1

g/mi NOx above the baseline as specified under the "Procedures for Exemption

of Add—On or Modified Parts."

% Difference                                          +9.5%   —2.5% +7.5%
     Based on the fact that the 1986—92 Ford Mustangs have a smaller engine

size and a lower gross vehicle weight than the 1991 Ford F—250 pick—up

truck, the exhaust emissions increase would be less than those of the 1991

Ford F—250 pick—up truck.       Therefore, staff concludes that based on previous

testing conducted by Hedman, no emission impact would be observed on 1986—92

Ford Mustangs equipped with 5.0 liter engines when the TEMS is installed.

     The staff recommends that Hedman be granted Executive Order D—167—5

allowing the installation of their TEMS, part nos. $8600, 88600—6, 89461 and

89461—6, on 1986—92 Ford Mustangs equipped with a 5.0 liter enigne and 1987—

92 Ford pick—up trucks equipped with 7.5'liter engines.

         It is necessary to raise the            vehicle         at   least 36          inches from the ground.            A
         floor hoist is recommended.  If none available, use a hydraulic jack with
         jack stands.  D0 NOT USE A BUMPER JACK!

         INSTALLATION      INSTRUCTIONS:

         1.   Disconnect battery, remove stock exhaust manifolds, headpipes, etc.
              Spark plugs should also be removed to eliminate possible damage
