Tornado Air Management System                                       (Page 2 of 2)

Management System on emissions as well as an examination of the On Board Diagnostic II
(OBD 11) system which showed that the installation of the Tornado Air Management System will
not affect emissions or the vehicle‘s ability to perform OBD I! monitoring.
