                                 EXECUTIVE ORDER D—213—36

                           Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156
                                      of the California Vehicle Code

                                    Vortech Engineering, LLC
                            Supercharger System, P/N 4FQ218—060*

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—12—014;

IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That the installation of the Supercharger System,
manufactured and marketed by Vortech Engineering, LLC, 1650 Pacific Avenue, Oxnard,
California 93033, 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 2015 to 2017 model year Ford 5.0L Mustangs.

The Supercharger System includes the following main parts: V—3 Si centrifugal
supercharger with 3.6" diameter pulley, intercooler, supercharger by—pass valve, air intake
tubing, new air filter cartridge in stock housing, ECU upgrade without user adjustments, mass
air flow sensor housing, replacement high flow fuel pump, and fuel injectors. The stock
crankshaft pulley, air filter housing, and radiator thermostat is retained. The PCV breather
hose may be replaced or modified with an SAE30RY rated hose or a Ford replacement
equivalent. All supplied fuel hoses are either Avon‘s CADbar 9000 series or a stock factory
replacement, and fuel and vapor line connectors supplied with the kit are OEM equivalent
parts. Maximum rated boost pressure is 10 psi.

* Changing the last number of the part number from a ‘0‘ to an ‘8‘ denotes polished finish.
Changing the last number of the part number from a ‘0‘ to an ‘4‘ denotes black finish. Adding
"L." denotes optional self—lubricating transmission.

This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the Supercharger
System 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 Supercharger System, 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 Supercharger System 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 Supercharger System using any identification other than that shown in this
Executive Order or marketing of the Supercharger System 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
Supercharger System may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle
manufacturer.

This exemption is issued based on submitted emissions test data, from the SEMA Garage,
Diamond Bar, California, on a 2017 model year Ford 5.0L Mustang certified to the LEV 3 ULEV
125 emission standards and tested using the Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure (FTP)
test cycle, Highway Fuel Economy Test (HWFET), and the Supplemental Federal Test
Procedure (SFTP USO6/SCO03 (AC2 test + 20%)) test cycle.

Boost measured at 10.92 psi.

Test results showed that the Supercharger System when installed on the vehicle did not cause
exhaust emissions to exceed the applicable emission standards during the FTP and SFTP. This
Executive Orderis also based on the On—Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) testing conducted on the
same test vehicle. The Supercharger System when installed on the test vehicle did not affect
the vehicle‘s ability to perform its OBD II monitoring. Similar results would be expected from the
other vehicle model years listed.

The Air Resources Board 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 2323, 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 THE SUPERCHARGER SYSTEM.
