EVALUATION OF THE BORLA PERFORMANCE INDUSTRIES CHRYSLER CORPORATION EXHAUST HEADER SYSTEMS FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS OF VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS I. INTRODUCTION Borla Performance Industries of 5901 Edison Drive, Oxnard, California 93033, has applied for an exemption from the prohibitions in Section 27156 of — the California Vehicle Code (VC) for their Chrysler Corporation Exhaust Header systems. The Exhaust Header systems are designed for installation on the following Chrysler Corporation motor vehicles: Part Number Model Year Vehicle Model Engine Size 17010 1987—90 Cherokee\Comanche\Wrangler 4.0 liter 17019 1991—92 Wrangler 4.0 liter 17020 1991—92 Cherokee\Comanche 4.0 lTiter 17026 1993—94 Grand Cherokee 4.0 liter 17033 1993—94 Grand Cherokee 5.2 lTiter 17034 1993—94 Wrangler 4.0 liter 17039 1993—94 Cherokee 4.0 lTiter 17040 1994 Ram T300 5.2 liter 17041 1994 Ram T300 5.9 liter 17042 1993—94 Dakota 5.2 liter 17049 1994—95 Ram T300 8.0 liter Borla Performance Industries has submitted test data from a 1994 Dodge Ram T300 light duty truck equipped with a 5.2L engine tested at Environmental Testing Corporation, Orange, California.

II. CONCLUSION Based on the results from emission testing performed at Environmental Testing Corporation on a 1994 Dodge Ram T300 light duty truck, the staff concludes that Borla Performance Industries‘ Chrysler Corporation Exhaust Header systems will not adversely affect exhaust emissions from vehicles for which an exemption is requested. III. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends that Borla Performance Industries be granted an exemption for their Chrysler Corporation Exhaust Header systems for installation on those vehicles listed above. The staff also recommends that Executive Order D~276—3 be issued. IV. DESCRIPTION OF THE BORLA EXHAUST HEADER SYSTEMS The Borla Chrysler Corporation Exhaust Header systems are designed for installation on Chrysler Corporation vehicles listed above. The exhaust manifold system operates in conjunction with the original equipment manufacturer‘s {OEM) computer controlled fuel injection system and emission control systems. The purpose of modifying the exhaust system of the engine is to increase horsepower and torque throughout the R.P.M. range. As with the original equipment manufacturer‘s (OEM) exhaust system, Borla Performance Industries‘ Chrysler Corporation Exhaust Header system, routes exhaust gases from the engine into the catalytic converter. The Chrysler Corporation Exhaust Header systems are manufactured using T— 304 stainless steel tubing. The Exhaust Header systems utilize Borla‘s proprietary V—8 engine header design, except the Exhaust Header system designed for 4.0 liter equipped Jeep/Chrysler Corporation light duty trucks which utilizes a tri—y design (6 into 2 into 1). Systems include all installation hardware and pre—catalyst tubing.

Installation of Borla Performance Industries‘s Chryster Corporation Exhaust Header system does not alter the OEM location of the oxygen sensor and the catalyst. The tune—up specifications also unaltered from OEM specifications. V. DISCUSSION OF THE BORLA CHRYSLER CORPORATION EXHAUST HEADER SYSTEM A 1994 Dodge Ram T300 light duty truck with a 5.2L fuel injected engine was used for the evaluation of the Chrysler Corporation Exhaust Header system ' system. According to Borla Performance Industries‘ expected sales information, this test vehicle represents the most popular vehicle/engine application. The dynamometer inertia weight and horsepower setting, determined as the worst case vehicle loading, were 5500—lbs and 19.8—hp respectively. The emission test conducted by Environmental Testing Corporation for Borla Performance Industries consisted of one Cold CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure {FTP) in the modified {Exhaust Header system installed) configuration. The ARB did not perform any test to confirm the test results submitted by the applicant. A summary of the test results is shown below: Exhaust Emission Test Results On A 1994 Dodge Ram T300 Light Duty Truck Exhaust Emissions (gm/mi) NMHC [xd NOx Device 0.16 2.2 0.41 Standard 0.50 . 9.0 1.0 Difference —0.34 —6.8 —0.59

Results from the emission test show the vehicle emissions with the Borla Chrysler Corporation Exhaust Header system system installed did not exceed the test vehicle‘s "New Vehicle Emission Standard." Therefore, based on the test results, the staff concludes that the installation of the Borla Performance Industries‘s Chrysler Corporation Exhaust Header system will not have an adverse effect on exhaust emissions on the vehicles which exemption is requested. Borla Performance Industries has submitted all the required information and fulfilled the requirements for an exemption.
