State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D—455—24 Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code Comptech Machine Comptech Supercharger Pursuant to the authority vested in the Air Resources Board by Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code; 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—45—9; IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That the installation of the Comptech Supercharger manufactured and marketed by Comptech Machine of 4717 Golden Foothill Parkway, El Dorado Hills, 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 Califomnia Vehicle Code for the Honda Motor Corporation vehicle applications listed in Exhibit A, excluding any vehicle certified to Low Emission Vehicle II Super Uitra Low Emission Vehicle (LEV II SULEV) or lower emission standards. The Comptech Supercharger includes the following main components: NOVI 1000R supercharger ($2000 vehicle model), Whipple 1600A supercharger (NSX vehicle model), prmapmnm Eaton MP62 supercharger (all other vehicle models in Exhibit A), Comptech air intake box {$2000 only), intake manifold (NSX only), Walbro fuel pump ($2000 only), and Comptech fuel pressure regulator. For some vehicle models, the stock fuel pressure regulators are replaced with higher—pressure Comptech regulators. Others utilize an add—on electronic timing calibrator or reprogramming of the stock controller. Several models‘ stock air intake boxes are replaced with the kit‘s smaller intake box in order to accommodate the supercharger. The V—6 NSX and most 4—cylinder vehicle models‘ stock intake manifolds are replaced with the combination supercharger and intake manifold assembly. Some models also utilize a MAP sensor electronic signal modifier that prevents excessive voltage signal when under boost conditions. This also replaces traditional vacuum hose bypass systems. All other emission—related components are in the stock location relative to the throttle body. The following are the supercharger pulley specifications: The NSX 3.2L engine uses a 3.8" diameter pulley, the NSX 3.0L engine uses a 4.2" diameter pulley, the $2000 2.2L engine uses a 4.5" diameter pulley, and the $2000 2.0L engine uses a 4.7" diameter pulley. All other vehicle models utilize either a 3.6" or 3.8" diameter pulley. Maximum boost for all models is limited to 6 psi. COMPTECH MACHINE — COMPTECH SUPERCHARGER —— D—455—24

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 device 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 on a 2005 model year Honda Motor Company Acura TL vehicle (Test Group 5HNXVO3.24B4) certified to the Low Emission Vehicle II Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (LEV 1! ULEV) and Supplemental Federal Test Procedure (SFTP) standards: Federal Test Procedure: NMOG [ele] NOX Standards (g/mi) 0.040 1.7 0.05 Device (g/mi) with df‘s applied 0.018 0.3 0.01 SFTP (USO6 Cycle): NMHC+NOX cCO Standards (g/mi) 0.14 8.0 Device (g/mi) 0.08 0.5 SETP (SC03 Alternative AC2 Cycle): NMHC+NOX CO Standards (g/mi) 0.20 2.7 Device (g/mi) 0.02 0.3 Test results showed that the Comptech Supercharger when installed on the vehicle did not cause exhaust emissions to exceed the applicable emission standards during the Cold Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure or SFTP cycles. This Executive Order is also based on the On—Board Diagnostic |I (OBD I1) testing conducted on the same test vehicle. Comptech COMPTECH MACHINE — COMPTECH SUPERCHARGER — D—455—24

13— Supercharger when installed on the test vehicle did not affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform its OBD I1 monitoring. In addition, the ARB reserves the right in the future to review this Executive Order and the exemptiqn 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 THE COMPTECH SUPERCHARGER. 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 a 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.
