WHEREAS, Engine Control Systems Ltd. of 165 Pony Drive, Newmarket, Ontario, Canada L3Y7V1, has applied to the ARB for exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38391 for their "Purimuffler" system for installation on 1990 and older model—year Detroit Diesel Corporation (DDC) heavy—duty two—stroke diesel engines for urban bus applications. 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—45—9, the ARB finds that the above "Purimuffler" complies with the California Vehicle Code Section 27156 and Section 2222 of Title 13, California Code of Regulations. Exemption of the "Purimuffler", is based on testing conducted by the Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio, Texas, and Mobile Source Emissions Division of Environment Canada. IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the "Purimuffler" is exempt from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for installation on 1990 and earlier model—year DDC heavy—duty two—stroke diesel engines for urban bus applications subject to the following conditions: 1. No changes are permitted to the "Purimuffler" as described in the original application for exemption. Any changes to the "Purimuffler", the installation instructions, or any of its components, and other factors addressed in this order must be evaluated and approved by the ARB prior to marketing in California. 2. Marketing of the "Purimuffler" using identification other than those shown in this Executive Order or the original submittal, or marketing of the "Purimuffler" for application other than the one listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the ARB. Exemption of this product shall not be construed as an exemption to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any components of the "Purimuffler" as individual devices. 3. Any oral or written references to this Executive Order or its content by Engine Control Systems Ltd., 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 emissions reduction claims for the "Purimuffler" and is only a finding that the "Purimuffler" is exempt from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156. 4. Upon installation, the Purimuffler carries a warranty for 100,000 miles provided that it is installed in accordance with the installation instructions provided by Engine Control Systems Ltd.
