State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D—453—3 Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code Moss Motors Mazda Supercharger Kit Pursuant to the authority vested in the Air Resources Board by Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code; and e 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 Mazda Supercharger Kit, manufactured by Jackson Racing and marketed by Moss Motors, 400 Rutherford Avenue, Goleta, California 93117 has been found not to reduce the effectiveness of the applicable vehicle poliution control system and, therefore, is exempt from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code for all 1990 to 2001 model year Mazda Miata vehicles powered by a 4—cylinder engine. Moss Motors‘ Mazda Supercharger Kit includes an Eaton supercharger designed to give a maximum boost of 6 psi., a new fuel pressure regulator and an aftermarket open element air cleaner to replace the original air cleaner. Modifications to the emissions control system include a relocation of the throttle body, and a 4 degree retard in ignition timing. The following are the applicable pulley sizes: Application Crank Pulley Supercharger 1990—1993 Mazda Miata 512" 2.9" 1994—2001 Mazda Miata 5.12" 2.6" This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the Mazda Supercharger Kit will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those submitted by Moss Motors. Moss Motors recommends that only 92 octane fuel be used. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the Mazda Supercharger Kit, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicie‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. This Executive Order shall not apply to any Mazda Supercharger Kit advertised, offered for sale, sold with, or installed on a new motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser. ‘

«2. Marketing of the Mazda Supercharger Kit using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the Mazda Supercharger Kit for an application other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board. Exemption of the Mazda Supercharger Kit shall not be construed as — an exemption to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any component of the kit as an individual device. This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the Mazda Supercharger Kit may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. This ExecutiveOrder is granted based on the following emissions test data submitted by the kit manufacturer: 1994 Mazda Miata certified to the Tier 1 emission standards NMHC CO NOX Standards 0.25 3.4 0.4 device 012 1.3 0.3 1998 Honda Civic certified to the Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) emission standards NMOG CO NOX HCHO Standards 0.075 34 02 0.015 device w/ dfs 0.071 1.5 01 0.002 Test results showed that the Mazda Supercharger Kit when installed on the vehicles did not cause tailpipe emissions to exceed the vehicie‘s applicable emission standards during a Cold Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure. This Executive Orderis also based on On Board Diagnostic 11 (OBD I!) testing conducted on the a 1999 Mazda Miata and a 1998 Honda Civic. Test data showed that the Mazda Supercharger Kit when installed on the vehicles did not affect the vehicles‘ abitity to perform OBD II monitoring. The test data from the Honda Civic was used to demonstrate the impact of the supercharger kit on emissions of vehicles meeting the LEV emission standards. Based on similarities between the supercharger kits for the Honda Civic and the Mazda Miata, staff concluded that the Mazda Supercharger Kit will not adversely affect emissions of Mazda Miata vehicles certified to the LEV emission standards. However, the ARB finds that reasonable grounds exist to believe that use of the Mazda Supercharger Kit may adversely affect emissions of motor vehicles when operating under conditions outside the parameters of the previously prescribed test procedures. Accordingly, the ARB reserves the right to conduct additional emission 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 Mazda Supercharger Kit 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 MOSS MOTORS — MAZDA SUPERCHARGER KIT — D—453—3

—3— evidence provides the ARB with reason to suspect that the Mazda Supercharger Kit will affect the durability of the emission control system, Moss Motors shall be required to submit durability data to show that the durability of the vehicle emission 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 ARB 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 MOSS MOTORS‘ MAZDA MAZDA SUPERCHARGER KIT. No claim 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 a 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. Executive Order D—453—2, dated September 2000, is superseded and of no further force and effect. Executed at El Monte, California, this ‘234 day of June 2001. for. ~~ R.
