                              EXECUTIVE ORDER D—488—4

                      Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156
                                     of the Vehicle Code


                                 Magnuson Products, Inc.
                                _ Radix 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 Healith and Safety Code and Executive Order G—02—003;

IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That the installation of the Radix Supercharger
Kit manufactured and marketed by Magnuson Products, Inc. of 3172 Bunsen Avenue,
Unit K, 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 Vehicle Code for the 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.OL
General Motors vehicles listed in Exhibit A.

The Radix Supercharger Kit includes the following main components: Eaton
supercharger, intake manifold plenum, larger fuel injectors, air intake box and filter,
air—to—water intercooler, and new fuel and ignition timing map calibrations. The stock _
fuel injectors are replaced while still maintaining the air—fuel ratio close to
stoichiometric using the new fuel and timing calibrations. The stock fuel pressure
regulator is retained, but the stock fuel pump is complemented with a fue!l pump
voltage booster. The throttle body is moved to the supercharger inlet. All other
emission—related components are in the stock location relative to the throttle body.
The supercharger pulley specifications range between 3.0" to 3.7" depending on the
engine displacement for which the kit is installed. All crankshaft pulleys are stock and
maximum boost is limited to 7 psi.

This Executive Order shall not apply to any Radix 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 Radix
Supercharger Kit will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different
from those of the vehicle manufacturer.


                                                  M

          Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the devices, 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 these devices 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
          these devices 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 2003 model year General Motors Silverado 2WD vehicle
          (Test Group 3GMXTO05.3176) certified to the Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) and

          Test results showed that the Radix Supercharger Kit 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 II (OBD II) testing conducted on the same
          test vehicle. Although the evaporative system readiness indicator failed to set during
          initial tests, no diagnostic trouble codes were logged during testing. In addition,
          further OBD I!I tests performed after the replacement of the vehicle‘s evaporative
          canister showed that the evaporative system readiness indicator set both before and
          after the installation of the supercharger kit. Therefore, the Radix Supercharger Kit

                                         —3.


when installed on the test vehicle did not affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform its OBD
I! monitoring. However, the ARB reserves the right to monitor this issue and conduct
additional OBD 11 system tests in the future. If such test results demonstrate that the
Radix Supercharger Kit is adversely affecting emissions or the OBD II system, this
Executive Order shall be effectively rescinded as of the date the test results are
validated.

In addition, 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
THE RADIX SUPERCHARGER KIT.

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. If a hearing is requested, it shall be held within ten
days of feceipt of the request and the order may not be revoked until a determination
is made after the hearing that grounds for revocation exist.
