State of California , AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D—171—10 Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code Advanced Turbo Systems, Inc. Torque Pro 2000 Pursuant to the authority vested in 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—02—003; _IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That the installation of the Torque Pro 2000, manufactured and marketed by Advanced Turbo Systems, Inc., 5919 South 300 West, Sait Lake City, Utah 84107 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 following turbo diesel vehicle applications: 1994 through 2002 model—year Ford Pickups with 7.3L Navistar engine. 1989 through 1998 model—year Dodge Pickups with 5.9L Cummins engine. 1993 through 2002 model—year GM Pickups with either a 6.5 or 6.6L engine. The Torque Pro 2000 includes a Pro2000 regulator, intake air ducting, a manifold pressure switch, and other hardware for proper installation. Propane is delivered to the engine through a 3/16 orifice in the intake air tubing prior to the turbo. This Executive Order shall not apply to any Advanced Turbo Systems, Inc. ‘s Torque Pro 2000 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 instailation instructions for the Torque Pro 2000 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 Torque Pro 2000, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. Marketing of the Torque Pro 2000 using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the Torque Pro 2000 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 Torque Pro 2000 shall not be construed as exemption to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any component of the kit as an individual device.

2. This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the Torque Pro 2000 may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. This Executive Order is granted based on submitted emissions test data which showed that the Torque Pro 2000 did not adversely affect tailpipe emissions during a comparative Cold Start 505 Federal Test Procedures. A 2001 Ford F—350 with a 7.3L diesel engine, certified to the low emission vehicle (LEV) emission standards, was used as the test vehicle. Results showing baseline and modified emission levels are listed below. HC CO NOx PM Opacity Baseline 0.53 1.3 6§.4 0.252 11.2% Device 0.40 12 6.6 0.143 7.2% Difference —0143 01 0.2 —0.109 Test results showed that the Torque Pro 2000 did not cause exhaust emissions to exceed the baseline emissions by more than the allowed limits of 10 percent or 0.1 grams per mile on hydrocarbon (HC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx), 15 percent or 1.0 grams per mile on carbon monoxide (CO), and 15 percent or 0.03 grams per mile on particulate matter (PM) as specified in the "Procedures for Exemption of Add—On and Modified Parts." Opacity test results generated using the highest reading on the Smoke Opacity Test were below the 40 percent standard. This Executive Order is also based on an On—Board Diagnostic II (OBD I1) testing conducted on the same vehicle. Test data showed that the Torque Pro 2000 when installed on the vehicle did not affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform its OBD II monitoring. _ The ARB finds that reasonable grounds exist to believe that use of the Torque Pro 2000 may adversely affect emissions of motor vehicles when operating under conditions outside the parameters of the Cold Start 505 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 Torque Pro 2000 adversely affects emissions during off—cycle conditions (defined as those conditions which are beyond the parameters of the Cold Start 505 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 Torque Pro 2000 will affect the durability of the emission control system, ADVANCED TURBO SYSTEMS, INC. —TORQUE PRO— 2000—D—171—10

—3. Advanced Turbo Systems, Inc. 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 ADVANCED TURBO SYSTEMS, INC. °S TORQUE PRO 2000. 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. Executed at El Monte, California, this 8"7’ day of August, 2002. Allé Eyons, Chief Mobile Source Operations Division ADVANCED TURBO SYSTEMS, INC. —TORQUE PRO 2000 — D—171—10
