%/ S State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D—455—20 Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code Comptech Machine Performance Intake Air Box Kit Pursuant to the authority vested in the Air Resources Board (ARB) 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 Performance Intake Air Box Kit, manufactured and marketed by Comptech Machine, 4717 Golden Foothill Parkway, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762 has been found not to reduce the effectiveness of the applicable vehicle pollution control system and, therefore, is exempt from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code for the Honda Motor Corporation vehicles listed in Exhibit A. The Performance Intake Air Box Kit includes the following main components: machined air box or intake tube (as applicable), reusable air filter element, hoses (as applicable, which may be silicone, and a color other than black), assorted brackets, and hardware. This Executive Orderis valid provided that the installation instructions for the Performance Intake Air Box Kit will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those of the vehicle manufacturer. This Executive Order shall not apply to any Performance Intake Air Box Kit advertised, offered for sale, sold with, or installed on a motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the Performance Intake Air Box Kit, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. This Executive Order shall not apply to any Performance Intake Air Box Kit advertised, offered for sale, or sold with or installed on, a motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser.

«2. Marketing of the Performance Intake Air Box Kit using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the Performance Intake Air Box Kit for an application other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the ARB. Exemption of the Performance Intake Air Box Kit shall not be construed as 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 Performance Intake Air Box Kit may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. This Executive Order is granted based on examination of the On—Board Diagnostic II (OBD—11) system of a 2000 model year Civic Si vehicle in the modified configuration, and an engineering evaluation of the emissions impact of the device if measured using the Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure. However, the ARB finds that reasonable grounds exist to believe that use of Comptech Machine‘s Performance Intake Air Box Kit may adversely affect emissions of motor vehicles when operating under conditions outside the parameters of the CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure. 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 Comptech Machine Performance Intake Air Box 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 evidence provides the ARB with reason to suspect that the Performance Intake Air Box Kit will affect the durability of the emission control system, Comptech Machine 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 COMPTECH MACHINE‘S PERFORMANCE INTAKE AIR BOX 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.

13. 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.
