' This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for the Nitrous Oxide Injection kits 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 device, as exempted by the ARB, that adversely affect the performance of a vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. Marketing of this device using an identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of this device for an application other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the ARB.

NITROUS OXIDE SYSTEMS, INC. . EXECUTIVE ORDER D—266—2 (Page 2 of 3) Test Procedure. However, the ARB finds that reasonable grounds exist to believe that use of the Nitrous Oxide Injection kits may adversely affect emissions of motor vehicles when operating under conditions outside the parameters of the previously prescribed test procedures. 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 Nitrous Oxide Injection kits 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are beyond the parameters of the Cold— Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure), this Executive Order shall be effectively rescinded as of the date the test results are validated.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 Nitrous Oxide Injection kits will affect the durability of the emission control system, Nitrous Oxide Systems, Inc. shall be required to submit durability data to show thaf ithe 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 NITROUS OXIDE SYSTEMS, INC.‘ NITROUS OXIDE INJECTION KIT #5115, #5115—II, #5172, #5174, & #5176.
