State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D—537—2 Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code Group—A Autosports Skunk2 Racing Intake Manifold Pursuant to the authority vestedin 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 Skunk2 Racing Intake Manifold, produced and marketed by Group—A Autosports, 2050 5¢" Street, Norco, California 92860, has been found not to reduce the effectiveness of the applicable vehicle pollution control systems and, therefore, is exempt from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code for the Acura and Honda vehicles listed in Exhibit A. The Skunk2 Racing Intake Manifold is manufactured with a larger plenum diameter, larger intake runners, and smoother interior finish than those of the stock intake manifold in order to allow the engine to produce more power. The stock intake air bypass is no longer used with part number 307—05—0270. This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the Skunk2 Racing Intake Manifold 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 Skunk2 Racing Intake Manifold, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicle‘s pollutlon control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. This Executive Order shall not apply to any Skunk2 Racing Intake Manifold advertised, offered for sale, sold with, or installed on a new motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with ° transfer to an ultimate purchaser. Marketing of the Skunk2 Racing Intake Manifold using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the Skunk2 Racing Intake Manifold for an application other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior,approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board. Lssn

This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the Skunk2 Racing Intake Manifold may have on any warranty either expressed or lmphed j by the vehicle manufacturer. This Executive Order is granted based on emission test results in the modified configuration using the Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure and an examination of the On—Board Diagnostic II (OBD I1) system. A 2000 Acura Integra GSR with a 1.8 liter engine (YHNXVO1.8XA2, TLEV, PC) was used for the evaluation of the Skunk2 Racing Intake Manifold (part number 307—05—0270). Results from emissions testing conducted at Automotive Testing and Development Services are shown below (in grams per mile): 50k t NMOG CO NOx HCHO Emission Level 0.081 1.637 0.085 0.0018 (w. DF applied) STD 0.125 3.4 0.4 0.015 100k NMOG CO NOx HCHO Emission Level 0.088 1.692 0.109 0.0021 (w. DF applied) STD 0156 _ 4.2 0.6 0.018 The emission test results in the modified configuration were below the applicable certification standards. Examination of the OBD II system showed the Skunk2 Racing Intake Manifold does not affect OBD II operation. Therefore, based on the test results, the staff concludes that the Skunk2 Racing Intake Manifold meets the criteria for exempting general criteria parts. However, the ARB finds that reasonable grounds exist to believe that use of the Skunk2 Racing Intake Manifold 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 Skunk2 — > Racing Intake Manifold adversely affect 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 Skunk2 Racing Intake Manifold will affect the durability of emission control systems, Group—A Autosports shall be required to submit durability data to show that the durability of vehicle emission control systems are not, in fact, affected and/or that the add—on or modified part demonstrates adequate durability. 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.

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.
