                                             —354—3
                   Relatlng to Exemptions Under Section 27156
                              of the Vehicle Code

                                    HA90INTK

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—9;

IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED:  That the installation of the HA9OINTK
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 1990—1993 model year Honda Accords.

Changes to the factory emission control systems are limited to replacing the
OEM air box, air intake tube, and the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV)
and starting air valve lines with the Racing Sports Akimoto aluminum intake
pipe, step hose, PCV and starting air valve lines, and open element air
filter.  On Accord models equipped with an intake air control system, that
control system may be removed and the intake air control solencoid must be
plugged.

This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for
the HAYOINTK 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.

This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the
use of this device may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by
the vehicle manufacturer.

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 HASOINTK may adversely affect emissions of motor
vehicles when operating under conditions outside the parameters of the
previously prescribed test procedures.  Accordirgly, the ARB reserves the
right to conduct additional emission tests, in the future, as such tests

are developed, that wil; more adequately measure emissions from all cycle
phases.   If such test results demonstrate that the HAYOINTK adversely
affects 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 HA9OINTK 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 demonsgtrates 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 Reqgulations, Section 2222, et
seq.

APPROVAL, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF ENDORSEMENT BY THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD OF ANY
