                                      of the Vehicle Code

                           Valina, Inc. (dba Car Tex Manufacturing)
                     "Series 13400/13500 Three—Way Catalytic Converter"

 WHEREAS, Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38395, and Title 13, California Code of
 Regulations (hereafter "CCR") Section 2222(h), authorize the California Air Resources Board
 and its Executive Officer to exempt new aftermarket catalytic converters from the prohibitions
 of Vehicle Code Section 27156 and 38391.

 WHEREAS, Valina, Inc. of 4560 Worth Street, Los Angeles, California 90063, has applied to
 the Air Resources Board for exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Sections 27156
 and 38391 to market its new aftermarket Series 13400/13500 three—way catalytic converter
 (TWC) for installation on selected 1996 through 2005 model year Ford medium—duty trucks
 equipped with on—board diagnostic II (OBD II) systems as specified in Appendix D—562—41
 and incorporated herein. Series 13400/13500 TWC will be used in dual exhaust system
 applications with Series 13400 used as the front catalytic converter and Series 13500 used
 as the rear catalytic converter. These catalytic converters may be sold as a universal or
 direct fit system.

_ 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 catalytic converter complies with the California Vehicle Code
 Sections 27156 and 38395 and Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222(h).
 Emission performance of the catalytic converter was based on durability bench—aging by
— Umicore AutoCat USA Inc. using the Air Resources Board—modified RAT—A bench—aging
  cycle for 100 hours, as specified in Appendix A to the "California Evaluation Procedures for
  New Aftermarket Catalytic Converters" as adopted on October 25, 2007.

 WHEREAS, emissions tests conducted at Automotive Testing and Development Services,
 Inc., located in Ontario, California, using a 2002 model—year 5.4L Ford F—150, test group
 2FMXTO5.4PF6, certified to Low Emission Vehicle emission standards (LEV), showed that
 the vehicle met the applicable emission standards with Series 13400 used as the front
 catalytic converter and Series 13500 used as the rear catalytic converter (2 units per engine
 bank) installed. OBD I! compatibility tests performed on the same test vehicle showed that
 Series 13400/13500 TWC did not affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform OBD II system
 monitoring. The following are the test results in grams per mile
