State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D—193—45 Relating to Exemptions under Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code Car Sound Exhaust System, Inc. (d.b.a. Magnaflow) "Series 42000 OBD 11 Compliant Three—way Catalytic Converter" WHEREAS, Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and Section 2222(h), Title 13, California Code of Regulations (hereafter "CCR"), 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 22961 Arroyo Vista, Rancho Santa Margarita, California 92688, has applied to the Air Resources Board for exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 to market its new aftermarket Series 42000 three—way catalytic converter (TWC) for installation on selected 1996 through 2003 model year Honda passenger cars and light—duty truck 1 (LDT1) equipped with on—board diagnostic II (OBD—II) systems as specified in Appendix D—193—45 and incorporated herein. The Series 42000 TWC will be used for single (one unit) or dual (two units) exhaust system applications for selected Honda passenger cars and LDT1, excluding vehicles equipped with warm catalytic converters. The TWC may also be installed on non—OBD II vehicles (1995 and older) similar in engine and exhaust configuration to those listed in Appendix D—193—45. 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, Air Resources Board finds that the above aftermarket catalytic converter complies with the California Vehicle Code Section 27156 and Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222(h). The emissions performance of the aftermarket catalytic converter was based on durability bench—aging by Delphi Energy and Chassis Systems using 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 II (OBD II) Systems." WHEREAS, emissions tests conducted at the Automotive Testing and Development Services, Inc. (ATDS), Ontario, California, using a 1998 2.3L Honda Accord equipped with a single (one unit) exhaust system, and certified to the Low Emission Vehicle (LEV, PC) emission standards showed that the vehicle met the appllcable emission standards with Series 42000 TWC (one unit) installed. OBD II compatibility tests performed on the same test vehicle showed that Series 42000 TWC did not affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform OBD II system monitoring. Emission test results in grams per mile are shown below.

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 exemiption it provides is not an endorsement or approval of any emission reduction claims for the catalytic converter and is only a finding that the catalytic converter is exempt from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156. Car Sound Exhaust System, Inc.‘s installation instructions for the new catalytic converter must conform to requirements in Paragraphs I and X of the "Optional Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Non—original Equipment Catalytic Converters Equipped with On—Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) Systems."

Car Sound Exhaust System, Inc. and its vendors may not advertise the new aftermarket catalytic converter as a "high or easy flow" catalytic converter or use any phrase that could make it appear to perform better than an OEM catalytic converter.
