(Page 1 of 3) State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D—186—19 Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156 o_ of the Vehicle Code HKS USA, INC. SUPER MEGA FLOW AIR FILTERS Pursuant to the authority vested in the Air Resources Board by Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code; and Pursuant to the authority vested in the undersigned by Section 39515 and Section 39516 of the Health and Safety Code and Executive Order G—45—9; IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That the installation of the Super Mega Flow Air Filters manufactured by HKS USA INC. of 2355 Mira Mar Avenue, Long Beach, California 90815, has been found not to reduce the effectiveness of required motor vehicle pollution control devices and, therefore, is exempt from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code for the vehicle applications as listed in the Exhibit, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein, excluding those vehicles certified to Ultra—Low—Emission Vehicle (ULEV) standards. This exemption is issued based on submitted emissions test data from an independent laboratory which showed the Super Mega Flow Air Filters did not adversely affect exhaust emissions on the vehicle tested. The test results are shown below. 1998 5.7L Chevrolet Tahoe NMOG CO NOx HCHO Device (g/mi) 0.178 24 0.3 0.008 Standard (g/mi) 0.195 5.0 0.6 0.022 This exemption shall not apply to any device, apparatus, or mechanism advertised, offered for sale or sold with, or installed on, a motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser. This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for this device will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those submitted by the system manufacturer.

HKS USA,INC. | EXECUTIVE ORDER D—186—19 AIR FILTERS (Page 2 of 3) Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the device, as exempted by the Air Resources Board, that 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 that the use of this device may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. This Executive Order is granted based on exhaust emission test conducted at an independent laboratory in accordance with Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure. However, the Air Resources Board finds that reasonable grounds exist to believe that use of the Super Mega Flow Air Filters may adversely affect emissions of motor vehicles when operating under conditions outside the parameters of the previously prescribed test procedures. Accordingly, the Air Resources Board reserves the right to conduct additional emissions tests, in the future, as such tests are developed, that will more adequately measure emissions from all cycle phases. If such test results demonstrate that the Super Mega Flow Air Filters adversely affects emissions during off—cycle conditions (defined as those conditions which are beyond the parameters of the Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure), this Executive Order shall be effectively rescinded as of the date the test results are validated. Further, if such test results or other evidence provides the Air Resources Board with reason to suspect that the Super Mega Flow Air Filters will affect the durability of the emission controls, HKS USA,Inc. shall be required to submit durability data to show that the durability of the vehicle emissions control system is not, in fact, affected and/or that the add—on or modified part demonstrates adequate durability. In addition to the foregoing, the Air Resources Board reserves the right in the future to review this Executive Order and the exemption provided herein to assure that the exempted add—on or modified part continues to meet the standards and procedures of Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222, et seq. THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A CERTIFICATION, ACCREDITATION, APPROVAL, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF ENDORSEMENT BY THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD OF ANY CLAIMS OF THE APPLICANT CONCERNING ANTI—POLLUTION BENEFITS OR ANY ALLEGED BENEFITS OF HKS USA, INC.‘S SUPER MEGA FLOW AIR FILTERS. No claims of any kind, such as "Approved by the Air Resources Board" may be made with respect to the action taken herein in any advertising or other oral or written communication.

The order may be revoked only after ten day written notice of intention to revoke the order, in which period the holder of the order may request in writing a hearing to contest the proposed revocation. If a hearing is requested, it shall be held within ten days of receipt of the request and the order may not be revoked until a determination after hearing that grounds for revocation exist.
