The Ram—Air Intakes are designed to replace the stock air filter housing and intake
tubing with a new air filter housing and intake tubing. The stock mass air flow sensor is
retained.

This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the Ram—Air
Intake will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those
submitted by the device manufacturer.

Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the Ram—Air Intakes, 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 Ram—Air Intakes 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 Ram—Air Intakes using any identification other than that shown in this
Executive Order or marketing of the Ram—Air Intakes 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 the use of the
Ram—Air Intakes may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle
manufacturer.

This Executive Order is granted based on submitted emission test data generated on a
2006 model year 4.0L Jeep Wrangler, certified to the Low Emission Vehicle | Ultra Low
Emission Vehicle (LEV | ULEV) emission standards and a 2007 model year 5.4L Ford
F—150, certified to the Low Emission Vehicle II Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (LEVII ULEV)
emission standards and both modified with the Ram—Air Intake. Test results showed that
emission levels, with the Ram—Air Intake installed, met the applicable emission standards
when tested using the Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure (FTP) test cycle and
the Supplemental Federal Test Procedure (SFTP) test cycle. Examination of the OBD II
system showed the Ram—Air Intake did notaffect OBD II system operation. Results from
emissions testing conducted at Quantum Technologies, Lake Forest, California, are
shown below (in grams per mile with deterioration factors applied).

Intakes on vehicles listed in this Executive Order.
