                              EXECUTIVE ORDER D~=354—7
                    Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156
                                of the Vehicle Code

Pursuant to the authbrity vested in the Air Resources Board (ARB) by Section
27156 of z(e 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 DS95INTK manufactured
by Racing Sports Akimoto of 3929/A East Guasti Road, Ontario, California 91761,
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 vehicles:

              Model Years           Vehicle Models

              1995—1997             Mitsubishi Eclipse GS—T
              1995—1997             Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX
              1996—1997       _     Mitsubishi Eclipse GS—T Spyder
              1995—1997             Eagle Talon TSi
              1995—1997             Eagle Talon TSi AWD

Changes to the factory emission control systems are limited to replacing the
original equipment manufacturer (OEM) air box with the Racing Sports Akimoto
open element air filter and filter adapter.

This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for the
DS95INTK 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.

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 DS95INTK 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 DS95INTK 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

DE95INTXK                                                                    (Page 2 of 2)

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 DS95INTK 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 DS95INTK.
