                             EXECUTIVE ORDER D-488-15

                      Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156
                                   of the Vehicle Code


                              Magnuson Products Inc.
                       Magnuson Products I.F.D. Supercharger Kit

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 Magnuson Products
I.F.D. Supercharger Kit manufactured and marketed by Magnuson Products Inc. of
1990 Knoll Drive, Ventura, CA 93003 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 C.odefor the General Motors
Corporation vehicle applications listed in Exhibit A.

The Magnuson Products I.F.D. Supercharger Kit includes the following main
components: Eaton supercharger and intake manifold plenum, larger fuel injectors, new
air intake filter element and tube assembly (the tube for the Corvette model contains
replacement hydrocarbon adsorber pads equivalent to stock), air-to-water intercooler,
and new fuel and timing map calibrations. A longer intake air temperature harness is
used in conjunction with the relocated sensor on the supercharger manifold, and the
stock fuel pump is complemented with a voltage booster (Corvette and CTS-V models
only). All other emission-related components are in the stock location relative to the
throttle body. All crankshaft pulleys are stock and maximum boost is limited to 7 psi.

This Executive Order shall not apply to any Magnuson Products I.F.D. Supercharger Kit
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 Magnuson
Products I.F.D. Supercharger Kit will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications
differerit from those of the vehicle manufacturer.


Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the device, as exempted by the
Air Resources Board, 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 Air
Resources Board.

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 previously submitted emissions test data from an
independent laboratory on a 2008 model year General Motors Corporation Corvette
vehicle (Test Group 8GMXV06.2086) certified to the Low Emission Vehicle II Ultra Low
Emission Vehicle (LEV II ULEV) and Supplemental Federal Test Procedure (SFTP)
standards. The exhaust emission measurements from the 2008 model year Corvette
are as follows:

The test results show that the Magnuson Products I.F.D. Supercharger Kit when
installed on a representative vehicle will not likely cause exhaust emissions to exceed
the applicable emission standards during the Cold-Start Federal Test Procedure or
SFTP cycles. This Executive Order is also based on specific On-Board Diagnostic II
(OBD II) testing conducted on the modified test vehicle. The Magnuson Products I.F.D.
Supercharger Kit when installed on the test vehicle did not affect the vehicle's ability to
perform its OBD II monitoring.
