The X—Charger Supercharger Kit includes the following main components: Magnuson supercharger unit, intake manifold, open—element air intake filter and tubing, and high—output fuel pump (for pre—2004 models only). The following modifications are done to subject vehicles: the stock airbox is replaced with the open—element filter assembly, the stock intake manifold is replaced with the X—SPEC manifold, and the stock fuel pump is replaced with a high flow, high pressure unit fue! pump unit. All other emission—related components are in the stock location relative to the throttle body. The supercharger pulley specification is 2.3". All crankshaft pulleys are stock and maximum boost is limited to 6 psi. This Executive Order shall not apply to any X—Charger 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. This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the X—Charger Supercharger Kit will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those of the vehicle manufacturer.

This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect that the use of these devices may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. This exemption is issued based on submitted emissions test data from an independent laboratory on a 2004 model year Ford Motor Company Explorer vehicle (Test Group 4FMXTO4.02K6) certified to the Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) and Supplemental Federal Test Procedure (SFTP) standards: Federal Test Procedure: NMOG CO NOX Standards (g/mi) 0.125 3.4 0.2 Device (g/mi) with df‘s applied 0.067 1. 0.1 Additive dfs (50k) 0.011 0.4 0.06 SFTP (USO6 Cycle): NMHC+NOX CO Standards (g/mi) 0.25 10.5 Device (g/mi) 0.22 0.4 SEFTP (SCQ03 Alternative AC2 Cycle): NMHC+NOX CO Standards (g/mi) 0.27 3.5 Device (g/mi) 0.08 0.5 Test results showed that the X—Charger Supercharger Kit when installed on the vehicle did not cause exhaust emissions to exceed the applicable emission standards during the Cold Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure or SFTP cycles.
