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— 92 Ford pick—up trucks equipped with a 7.5 liter engine

EVALUATION OF HEDMAN MANUFACTURING‘$ TUBULAR EXHAUST MANTFOLD sYsTEM For 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."

— / / Table 1 CVS—7§ Tests Conducted by Hedman Engine Size Vehicle Tested (KHC co NOx) g/m (liter) Device 7.5 91 Ford F—250 .972 9.872 7.060 Baseline Full Size Truck .888 10.120 6.568 Difference +.084 —.248 +.492 % 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.
