"Normal" set IOs will lose their bonuses if you exmplar down to more than 3 levels below the enhancement level. Meaning that if you are slotted with a full set of level 40 IOs, then if you exemplar down to level 36, you'll lose the bonuses.
However, Purple sets ignore this. You can exemplar down to level 1 and retain their effectiveness. This is part of what makes them better than normal sets.

Set Bonuses from non-Purples work at 3 levels below the level of the IOs needed for them. Purple Set Bonuses always work.

Also, PvP IO sets ignore exemplar levels for set bonuses just like purples.
