CA 95762 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 California Vehicle Code for the following vehicle applications, excluding any vehicle certified to Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) or lower emission standards: Model Year Displacement Applications Kit Number 1998—1999 3.0L Accord 350—060 2000—2002 3.0L } Accord 350—063 2000—2003 3.2L CL Type—S 350—061 1999—2003 3.2L TL Type—S 350—061 — The Performance Supercharger Kits include the following main components: a Comptech supercharger, Comptech air intake box, and Comptech fuel pressure regulator. The stock air intake box is replaced with the kit‘s cold air intake box, filter element, and associated tubing. The stock fuel pressure regulator is replaced with the Comptech regulator, and an electronic signal modifier for the manifold absolute pressure sensor is installed. Also, the Acura CL Type—$S & TL Type—S$ models have a secondary throttle body for traction control that is relocated to the piping between the filter box & the blower inlet. All other emission—related components are in the stock location relative to the main throttle body.

COMPTECH MACHINE EXECUTIVE ORDER D—455—15 PERFORMANCE SUPERCHARGER KITS (Page 2 of 3) This Executive Order shall not apply to any Comptech Machine Performance Supercharger Kits advertised, offered for sale, sold with, or installed on a new motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser. This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the Performance Supercharger Kit 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 device, as exempted by the Air Resources Board (ARB), that adversely affect the performance of a vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. Marketing of this device using any 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 that the use of this devfce may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. This exemption is issued based on submitted emissions test data from an independent laboratory which showed that the Performance Supercharger Kit did not adversely affect exhaust emissions of the tested vehicles. The test results are shown below. Independent Laboratory Test Results 2002 3.0L Honda Accord, LEV Cert. NMOG CO NOX HCHO Device (g/mi) with df‘s applied 0.051 1.6 0.1 0.002 Standard (g/mi) 0.075 3.4 0.2 0.015 Test results showed that the Performance Supercharger Kit when installed on the vehicle did not cause tailpipe emissions to exceed the applicable emission standards during the Cold Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure. This Executive Order is also based on On—Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) testing conducted on the same test vehicle. Test data showed that the supercharger kit when installed on the vehicle did not affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform its OBD |I monitoring. However, the ARB finds that reasonable grounds exist to believe that use of Comptech _ Machine‘s Performance Supercharger Kits 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 Performance Supercharger Kit 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 evidenceprovides the ARB with reason to suspect that the COMPTECH MACHINE — PERFORMANCE SUPERCHARGER KIT — D—455—15

COMPTECH MACHINE EXECUTIVE ORDER D—455—15 PERFORMANCE SUPERCHARGER KITS (Page 3 of 3) Performance Supercharger Kit will affect durability of the emission control systems, Comptech Machine 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 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 COMPTECH MACHINE‘S PERFORMANCE SUPERCHARGER KITS. No claims 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. Violation of any of the above conditions shall be grounds for revocation of this order. The order may be revoked only after ten day written notice of intention to revoke the order, in which period the holder of the order may request in writing a hearing to contest the proposed revocation. If a hearing is requested, it shall be held within ten days of receipt of the request and the order may not be revoked until a determination after hearing that grounds for revocation exist. - Executed at El Monte, California, this ,5”’ day of September 2002.
