NTRODUCTION Car Sound Exhaust System, Inc. {Car Sound) of 16191 Phoebe Avenue, La Mirada, California 90638, has applied for an exemption to use their new aftermarket 700 series three—way plus oxidation (TWC + OC) catalytic converter, for oxidation and three—way applications, in accordance with the California regulations on new aftermarket catalytic converters. The intended converter applications are shown befow: Type Series No. Engine Size Max. Veh. Wt. 0C 700 5.0L (305 CID) 4000 lbs TWC 700 B.OL (305 CID) 4000 Tbs II. CONCLUSION The applicant has submitted all the required information and based on the submitted exhaust emissions test data, the staff concludes that the catalytic converter meets the criteria set forth in Vehicle Code Section 27156 and Title 13, California Code of Requlations, Section 2222(h) for the stated applications. III. COMMENDATION > The staff recommends that the exemption be granted as requested and that Executive Order No. D—193—2 be issued, permitting the advertisement, sale and installation of the new aftermarket catalytic converter as oxidation and three—way converters on vehicles up to 5.0 liters and 4000 lbs.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION The Car Sound three—way plus oxidation substrates are coated with platinum, palladium and rhodium with no air injection incorporated between the reducing and oxidizing substrates. The substrates are enclosed in an outer shell or container of stainless steel. The converter uses materials and construction similar to the original equipment manufacturers. The catalytic converter is sold with installation instructions and kits as shown in the application catalog. It is also sold with a warranty for two years or 25,000 miles on the substrates and five years or 50,000 miles on the container or shell. ¥. VICE EVALUATIO Car Sound submitted test data on the catalytic converter. The tests were conducted by Automotive Testing and Development Services, Inc. (ATDS), Huntington Beach, California. The mileage accumulation and test vehicle parameters for the converter applications are shown in the appendix. Two CVS—75 emission tests were conducted on each of the test vehicles with the converter installed and two CVS—75 tests were conducted with exhaust backpressure simulator. The same test procedure was used for both the oxidation and the three—way applications. The tests were conducted following the accumulation of 25,000 miles on each of the two test converters. The vehicles used in the accumulation of 25,000 miles had an engine displacement of 5.0 liters and vehicle weight of 4000 Ibs. Exemptiofi for each converter application is limited to vehicles up to 5.0 liters and 4000 lbs. in order to conform to the "worst case" requirement of the California regulations. The test results and conversion efficiencies for the oxidation and three—way applications are shown below:

Oxidation (OC) Application Simulator Converter 1 Converter 2 Average Efficiency HC (g/mi) 2.118 0.252 0.272 87.6% CO {g/mi) 27.866 0.1734 0 .862 97.2% hree—way {TW licatio HC (g/mi) 2.463 0.189 0 .194 92.2% CO (g/mi) 16.416 1.287 1.364 92.0% NOx(g/mi) 1.743 0.541 0.592 67.4% All of the conversion efficiencies meet the requirements of the California regulations. The staff based the evaluation of the new aftermarket catalytic converter on the information submitted by Car Sound and on test data from Automotive Testing and Development Services, Inc.
