                             EXECUTIVE ORDER D—354—1
                     Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156
                                of the Vehicle Code

  Pursuant to the authority vested in the Air Resources Board (ARB) by Section
  27156 of the Vehicle Code; and

  Pursuant to the authority vested in the undersigned by Sections 39515 and
  39516 of the Health and Safety Code and Executive Order G—45—5;

  IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED:  That the installation of the TS94COOL and
  MR94COOL manufactured by Racing Sports Akimoto of 2315 West Foothill
  Boulevard, Unit 2, Upland, California 91786, has been found not to reduce
  the effectiveness of required motor vehicle pollution control devices and,
  therefore, is exempt from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle
  Code for installation on the following vehicle applications:

       PART NUMBER                      AP   CATION

       MR94COOL       ‘                 1993=—1994 Mazda RX—7

       TS94COOL                         1993—1994 Toyota Supra Turbo

  Changes to the factory emission control systems are limited to replacing the
  OEM intercooler, air hoses,and air pipes with the Racing Sports Akimoto
  intercooler, hoses and pipes.

   This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for
 — the TS94COOL and MR94COOL 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 prlor
  approval is obtained from the ARB.   _                                     ~L

  the vehicle manufacturer.


 RACING SPORTS AKIMOTO                        EXECUTIVE ORDER D—354—1
 TS94COOL AND MR94COOL                        (Page 2 of 3)


 This Executive Order is granted based on an engineering evaluation if
 emissions tests were conducted in accordance with Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal
 Test Procedure.  However, the ARB finds that reasonable grounds exist to
 believe that use of the TS94COOL and MR94COOL 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 TS94COOL and MR94COOL
 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 TS94COOL and
 MR94COOL will affect the durability of the emission control systems, Racing
 Sports Akimoto shall be required to submit durability data to show that the
 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 RACING SPORTS AKIMOTO‘S TS94COOL AND MR94COOL.

 No claim of any kind, such as "Approved by the Air Resources Board" may be
 made with respect to the action taken hereln in any advertising or other
 oral or written communication.

 Section 17500 of the Business and Professions Code makes untrue or
 misleading advertising unlawful, and Section 17534 makes violation
 punishable as a misdemeanor.

 Section 43644 of the Health and Safety Code provides as follows:

       "43644,   (a)  No person shall install, sell, offer for sale, or
       advertise, or, except in an application to the state board for
     . certification of a device, represent, any device as a motor vehicle
       pollution control device for use on any —uged motor vehicle unless that
       device has been certified by the state board.   No person shall sell,
       offer for sale, advertise, or represent any motor vehicle pollution
         control device as a certified device which,   in fact,   is not a certified
         device.   Any violation of this subdivision is a misdemeanor."
