State of Califorr~ia AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D-267-9 Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code Tornado Air Management System Tornado, Tornado II, and Tornado Ill Air Management Systems 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-02-003; IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That the installation of the Tornado, Tornado 11, and Tornado Ill Air Management Systems manufactured and marketed by Tornado Air Management System of 9459 Washburn Road Downey, California 90242 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 California Vehicle Code for all 2007 and older model year vehicles. The Tornado, Tornado II, and Tornado Ill Air Management System is a one-piece metal device installed either in the intake air ducting or inside the air cleaner. No emission control components are removed or relocated with the installation of the Tornado, Tornado II, or Tornado III Air Management System. This Executive Order shall not apply to any Tornado, Tornado II, and Tornado Ill Air Management Systems advertised, offered for sale, sold with, or installed on a new motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser. This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the Tornado, Tornado I I , and Tornado Ill Air Management Systems will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those of the vehicle manufacturer. 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 exemption is issued based on an engineering evaluation of the impact of Tornado, Tornado II, and Tornado Ill Air Management Systems on emissions as well as an examination of the On Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) system which showed that the installation of the Tornado, Tornado II, and Tornado Ill Management Systems will not affect emissions or the vehicle's ability to perform OBD II monitoring. THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES NOT CONS-I-ITUTE A CERTIFICA1-ION, 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 TORNADO, TORNADO II, AND TORNADO Ill AIR MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS. 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. Violation of any of the above conditions shall be grounds for revocation of this order. 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 is made after the hearing that grounds for revocation exist. Executed at El Monte, California, this 3 29 day of April 2007. Annette Hebert, Chief Mobile Source Operations Division TORNADO AIR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM-TORNADO, TORNADO ll, AND TORNADO 111-D-267-9
