The High Flow Throttle Body consists of a stock BMW throttle body that is modified to increase the overall inside diameter by 5 percent. A new throttle plate is also installed. The modified throttle body is port matched to the stock intake manifold. This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the High Flow Throttle Body will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those of the vehicle manufacturer. This Executive Order shall not apply to any High Flow Throttle Body advertised, offered for sale, sold with, or installed on a motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with the transfer to an ultimate purchaser. Changes made to the design or operating cohditions of the High Flow Throttle Body, 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 High Flow Throttle Body using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the High Flow Throttle Body 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 system 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 that the use of the High Flow Throttle Body may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. This Executive Order is granted based on prior evaluation which determined that Dinan Engineering, Inc.‘s High Flow Throttle Body does not cause an adverse effect on emissions of selected passenger cars (D—176—22), nor does it affect the vehicles‘ ability to perform On—Board Diagnostic [ (OBD II) system monitoring. The same effect on emissions and OBD II system monitoring is expected on the vehicles listed in this Executive Order.
