WHEREAS, Valina, Inc.

The Series 12301 will be used as front catalytic converters (2 units) and Series 12311 will be used as rear catalytic converters (2 units) for dual exhaust system applications having a total of four catalytic converters. The TWCs may also be installed on non—OBD I! vehicles (1995 and older) similar in engine displacement, test weight, and exhaust configuration to those listed in Appendix D—562—4. 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 cataiytic converters comply with the California Vehicle Code Section 27156 and Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222(h). The emissions performance of the catalytic converters was based on durability bench—aging by Umicore Automotive Catalyst Corporation using Air Resources Board—modified RAT—A bench—aging cycle for 100 hours, as specified in the "Optional Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Non—original Equipment Catalytic Converters Equipped with On—Board Diagnostic 1 (OBD I1) Systems." WHEREAS, emissions tests conducted at Siemens VDO Automotive Test Center (Siemens), Auburn Hills, Michigan, using a 2000 4.6L Ford F—150 truck equipped with dual exhaust system, and certified to the Low Emission Vehicle (LEV, MDV2) emission standards showed that the vehicle met the applicable emission standards with Series 12301 (2 units in front) and Series 12311 (2 units in rear) TWCs installed. OBD II compatibility tests performed on the same test vehicle showed that Series 12301 and 12311 TWC did not affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform OBD II system monitoring. Emission test results in grams per mile are shown below.
