State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D—193—39 Relating to Exemptions under Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code Car Sound Exhaust System, Inc. (d.b.a. MagnaFlow) "Series 41100 and 41400 OBD II Compliant Three—way Catalytic Converters" WHEREAS, Vehicle Code Sections 27156, and Title 13, California Code of Regulations {hereafter "CCR") Section 2222(h), authorize the California Air Resources Board and its Executive Officer to exempt new aftermarket catalytic converters from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156. WHEREAS, Car Sound Exhaust System, Inc. (Car Sound) of 22691 Arroyo Vista, Rancho Santa Margarita, California 92688, has applied to the Air Resources Board for exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Sections 27156 to market its new aftermarket Series 41100 and 41400 three—way catalytic converters (TWC) on selected 1994 through 2001 model year 4.6L Ford passenger cars equipped with on—board diagnostic II (OBD—II) systems and multiple (3, 4 or 6) catalytic converters as specified in Appendix D—193—39 and incorporated herein. The Series 41100 will be used as front catalytic converters (2 or 4 units) and Series 41400 as rear catalytic converters (1 unit or 2 units) for multiple catalytic _ converter applications. These catalytic converters may be sold as universal or direct—fit system for the vehicles listed in Appendix D—193—39. The Series 41100 and 41400 TWCs may also be installed on non—OBD I! vehicles (1995 and older) similar in engine and exhaust configuration to those listed in Appendix D—193—39. WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority vested in the Executive Officer by Health and Safety Code Section 39515 and in the Chief, Mobile Source Operations Division by Health and Safety Code Section 39516 and Executive Order G—02—003, the Air Resources Board finds that the above aftermarket catalytic converters comply with the California Vehicle Code Section 27156 and Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222(h). The emissions performance of the aftermarket catalytic converters was based on durability bench—aging by Delphi Energy & Engine Management System (Delphi) using the Air Resources Board modified RAT—A bench—aging cycle for 75 hours, as specified in the "Optional Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Non—original Equipment Catalytic Converters Equipped With On—Board Diagnostic |I (OBD 11) Systems." WHEREAS, emissions tests conducted at the Automotive Testing and Development Services, Inc., Ontario, California, with Series 41100 (2 units front) and Series 41400 (2 units rear) TWCs installed on a 2001 4.6L Crown Victoria, test group YFMXVO4.6VF5, certified to the passenger car, Low Emission Vehicle emission standards (PC, LEV), showed that the vehicle met the applicable emission standards. OBD II compatibility tests performed on the same vehicle showed that Series 41100 and 41400 TWC system does not affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform OBD |I system monitoring. The following are the test results in grams per mile:

Any oral or written references to this Executive Order or its content by Car Sound Exhaust System, Inc., its principals, agents, employees, distributors, dealers, or other representatives must include the disclaimer that the Executive Order or the exemption it provides is not an endorsement or approval of any emission reduction claims for the catalytic converter system and is only a finding that the catalytic converter system is exempt from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156. 4.

The new aftermarket catalytic converter substrates may not be sold or supplied to a third party by Car Sound Exhaust System, Inc., its associates, vendors, other businesses, and individuals associated with Car Sound Exhaust System, Inc., to be assembled in a different facility and marketed under this Executive Order. 8. Any marketing arrangement of the new aftermarket catalytic converter by a third party, which involves the use of packaging identification different from the ones described in this Executive Order must be approved by the Air Resources Board prior to shipment. Violation of any of the above conditions shall be grounds for revocation of this order. The order may be revoked only after a ten day written notice of intention to revoke it, during which period the holder of the order may request in writing a hearing to contest the proposed revocation. If a hearing is requested, it shall be held within ten days of receipt of the request, and the order may not be revoked until a determination is made, after the hearing, that grounds for revocation exist.
