                             EXECUTIVE ORDER D—269—40

                      Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156
                              of the California Vehicle Code

                                  K&N Engineering, Inc.
              Fuel Injection Performance Kits and Typhoon Intake Systems

Pursuant to the authority vested in the Air Resources Board (ARB) by Section 27156 of
the Vehicle Code (VC); 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—14—012;

IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That installation of the Fuel Injection Performance
Kits and Typhoon Intake Systems, produced and marketed by K&N Engineering, Inc. of
1455 Citrus Ave., Riverside, California 92507, 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 the vehicles
listed in the attached Exhibit A.

The Fuel Injection Performance Kits and Typhoon Intake Systems include the following
main components: open—element reusable air filter, intake system tubing, assorted
brackets, and hardware.

This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for the Fuel Injection
Performance Kits and Typhoon Intake Systems 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 Fuel Injection Performance
Kits and Typhoon Intake Systems, as exempt by the ARB, 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 Fuel Injection Performance Kit or Typhoon
Intake 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 Fuel Injection Performance Kits and Typhoon Intake Systems using
any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the Fuel
Injection Performance Kits and Typhoon Intake Systems for an application other than
those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained
from the ARB.


This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the Fuel
Injection Performance Kits and Typhoon Intake Systems may have on any warranty
either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer.

This Executive Order is granted based on emission test results in the modified
configuration using the Supplemental Federal Test Procedure (USO06), and an
examination of the On—Board Diagnostic II (OBD 11) system. A 2013 Scion FR—S with a
2.0 liter engine (DFJXVO2.0AJM, LEV—II LEV) was used for the evaluation of the Fuel
Injection Performance Kits and Typhoon Intake Systems. Results from emissions
testing conducted at Automotive Testing & Development Services, Inc., are shown
below (in grams per mile):

2013 Scion FR—S 2.0 liter

        USO6                               NMHC + NOx         So
                  Emission Level           0.023              2.89
                            STD            0.14               8.0

Emission test results in the modified configuration were below the applicable
certification standards. Examination of the OBD II system showed the Fuel Injection
Performance Kits and Typhoon Intake Systems do not affect OBD II operation.
Therefore, based on the test results, the staff concludes that the Fuel Injection
Performance Kits and Typhoon Intake Systems meet the criteria for exempting general
criteria parts.

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. Further, if test results or other evidence provides the ARB with reason to
suspect that the Fuel Injection Performance Kits and Typhoon Intake Systems will affect
the durability of emission control systems, K&N Engineering, Inc. shall be required to
submit durability data to show that the durability of.vehicle emission control systems are
not, in fact, affected and/or that the add—on or modified part demonstrates adequate
durability.

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 K&N
ENGINEERING, INC. FUEL INJECTION PERFORMANCE KITS AND TYPHOON
INTAKE SYSTEMS.

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.
