The Summit Industries, Inc.‘s Thorley Headers are of a long tube style design. Installation may require the use of a connecting Y pipe. Both the exhaust header and Y pipe are manufactured out of 14 gage mild steel. On vehicles that are equipped with an oxygen sensor, the sensor is located either on the header‘s collector or at the top of the Y pipe similar to the vehicles stock configuration. This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for this device will not recommend tuning the vehicles to specifications different from those of the vehicle manufacturer. This Executive Order shall not apply to any Summit Industries, Inc.‘s Thorley Header advertised, offered for sale, sold with, or installed on a new motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the device, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of a vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. ‘ Marketing of this device using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of this device for an application other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board. This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the device may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer.

«2. This Executive Order is granted based on emission test data conducted by Doug Thorley Headers (Executive Order D—200—21).
